Seasons

The world begins in winter,
Barren, fresh and new,
Life begins in winter,
Hidden, obscure, but true,
All that was has been stripped clean,
Cleansed by snow and Ice,
Yet beneath that pale blanket,
Lies the first breath of new life,
.. ..
Spring comes in the brush of wind,
Peeling away the cold,
Life begins to reveal itself,
Be it brand new or ages old,
Blossoms spread their petals wide...
