The Days begin entombed in ice
Their captive beauty to behold
Frosted works of snow and Ice
Put on display by fearless cold
The numbing silence of the days
and howling winds of night
conspire together to delay
The time when sun and earth unite
When the sun scouts out the scene
uneasy air reports the danger
Sending warmth to stake its claim
The charcoal skies explode with anger
Waters rise to join the fight
Breaking through strongholds of ice
Led by sun's unwavering light
Overcoming fields of white
Escaping cold's relentless grasp
With warmth its new companion
The earth claims victory at last
And re-creates with sweet abandon
Filling sky and earth alike
With colors now on full display
Hiding battle scars from sight
And cheering on the lengthening days
Shining waves of heat appear
A signal from the earth and sun
Restoration's end is near
A time of peace and rest has come
Anticipating shifting winds
The earth collects its bounty
Storing treasures deep within
While distant threats are mounting
With A show of colors flaming
Warning all to be aware
Restlessly with time remaining
Giving all it stands prepared
With a warning blast of frost
Cold pushes through to claim its fate
The battle short but all’s not lost
As earth and sun retreat to wait
There is no question of defeat
The circle slowly closing
Lingering memories of the heat
Keep hope alive and growing
