Unbroken Promise & Announcement

Snow StormSnow Squall

Unbroken Promise

Where is the peace

in these wild winds

that whip white veils

across a frozen land?

Small creatures stir slightly

in underground lairs;

bulbs revive beneath

their ivory blankets;

songbirds renew their melodies;

goldfinches transform feathers,

drab gray to vivid yellow.

Twilight’s indigo glow lingers

behind evening’s first stars.

Spring whispers in our ear

of soft breezes which

ruffle newly sprouted leaves

and of its unbroken promise-

a transition to temperate days.
