Like the Chinook Wind

Like the soft whisper
of the chinook wind
gently swaying branches
of spruce and poplars
on warming winter nights,
you came into my life
unannounced, but hoped for.

Under your springtime softness
my winter apathy melted,
dripped away so quickly
like snow on rooftops;
new life flowed
in endless rivulets and streams.

Like the chinook wind
I thought to myself, bitterly,
you would cool away and die
under cold eastern skies:
but you were the Spring Maiden
and with your breath
this new life flowed forth
joining the eternal river.
