Just Around the Corner

Alone in the background shrouded in soft hues of gray;

cloaked in the mist of the new dawning day.

Limbs that are brittle from the long winter's cold;

wanting and yearning for some warmth to enfold.

The winter a respite or so it would seem;

but ready for the new life that comes with the spring.

The sun in all it's glory a picture has painted;

all the colors so vibrant and will not be tainted.

With it's arms it reaches across the frozen pastures I see;

the warm glow it brings completely surrounds me.

The promise of renewal of new life to come;

the chance now to finish all that has not been done.

It is just around the corner, this time we call spring;

wishing and hoping that good things it will bring.
