Taste of February The breezes taste of February Smell of barren limbs Tunes of early hours of dawn Are February hymns I can feel that earth is moving Toward the sun of spring Snows of yesterday are melting Into crystal springs I can feel my feet approaching Corners yet unknown Mornings tiptoe bright and swift Upon a purple throne Joy is somewhere to be found In closeness to my heart Love is ever present from The ones who never part Hope is served upon a tray Of rounded silver beams Fanning out from mountain crests Into tomorrow’s dreams Dusk aromas fill the lungs As earth is turning round Wooded hills are donned with February’s golden crown Nighttime falls upon us But in shadows of the mind Smells of melting earth bring on A freshness right behind Breezes taste of February Thawing winter ground Around an unknown corner There are treasures to be found Elizabeth Santos 2/8/03 |

'I can feel that earth is moving Toward the sun of spring Snows of yesterday are melting Into crystal springs' And not a snowflake too soon!  |

simply wonderful poem with every line exquisite, but these are my very favorite: Snows of yesterday are melting Into crystal springs Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
