Winter brings weak
Morning light late
Afternoons dark
Frost-shivered limbs
First sign of warmth
(Rain on the west wind)
Foliage thickens
Leaf litter laps the fence
Sticky buds unfold
Super-slow-motion
Burst of pink
Petals un-scroll
Sudden brightness soon
Burnt by memories
Casting shadows
Across our lawn
Spectacular displayed
Vibrancy lasting
No longer
Than winter's sun
