Cold touch which binds the Earth with frost
relax your bitter grip.
A breath of spring today was felt
to stir across the land.

Released from your relentless grasp
this harbinger arose,
encouraging our thoughts to turn
from winters' icy throes.

A subtle shift of current brings
a welcome respit, felt.
No tears shall be commingled with
your passing in the melt,

of rites too long in stasis
in your alibaster heart.
An oasis to your desert, whispered of
as course we chart.

Beyond where you have held us,
soon again, our ways will part,
though as yet it does elude us,
it's faint scent is still a start.

I loved your poem! It was fresh and snappy and full of life! Yeppers! Spring is in the air--I can smell it!

Warm springtime hugs,
EA

Earth Angel,
Thanks. It sure has been a long, hard winter for us. Almost sixty here today, but rain and snow forecast for the weekend. If things hold true we can expect another 17 inches of snow yet this month or so.

Alicethruglass,
Thanks for replying. We've still 30" on the level, but it is settling.
