While I wait
Raindrops on tarmac glisten in the winter sun
For the fifth time
It means more to me than it ever has
The world is beautiful and painful in one, cold refreshing breath
The frost melts away, revealing nature's bounties
Bright yellows, deep purples and soothing greens
They dot the land that we walk on, separately.
For the fifth time
As the sun strengthens, shining harder
The stubborn clouds remain the same
Playing peekaboo with the heat on the wet terrain
The warm water that caresses our skin is extraordinary
For the fifth time
The green turns to orange and yellow before it hits the ground
The world and it's colour is magnificent
Even in the biting winds that have arrived
Every sight is glorious and gruesome
For the fifth time

Some good description in this, quite freshly put. 'For the fifth time' is a great teaser, engaging reader imagination. As is 'glorious and gruesome'. An interesting work.
