Melting snow runs down from the high peaks,into creeks,
The over flowing waters, carry off layers of the forest floor,
nutrients, twigs,leafs and insects are all swept clean,
little creeks bulge into violent streams,and mighty rivers
churning, tumbling,and roaring it's waves, into the ocean's mouth.

Melting snow on the forest floor lays bare chains of small islands,
spreading under pines and oaks and elms,low lands and high lands,
redeveloping a stark contrast,of dark colored ground against the white snow,
the season of change beckons its call to awaken the forest floor,from its winter's sleep,
with a splash of melting snow, and a degree of heat,
natures cycle is complete.

Enjoyed very much. Love your description of melting snow. Unfortunately snow is piling up here in Maine instead of melting.
