Beautiful Transitions

This was written back around Easter of 2007 just after Spring had begun in Odenton, Maryland where I used to live. Trees were blooming with sakura blossoms, and the field had daffodils in bloom, and then one morning we get a snow shower which covered those flowers. Something that I had never seen before.

This had placed 24th in the Shadow's Ink poetry contest, and was published in Shadows Ink Chapbook Series 2, Volume 5. 

Beautiful Transitions

Flowers begin to bloom with many names
   Their colors brightened by the suns warms rays
Signs that Springtime has come again
   And we bid adieu to cold winter days

Just after we bid adieu to winter days
   At the break of day returns the freeze
Snowflakes again travel their way
   Following the direction of the breeze

They rest upon all that lies in its way
   And blossoms with colors so bright
A confusing game that nature plays
   And yet still a beautiful sight

But short lived is the visit of snow
   The sun's rays return sending it on its way
Now this way a warmer wind blows
   Once again bidding adieu to winter days
