FEBRUARY WHISPER
When February rolls back the blanket of winter,
Stirring lazily with languid yawning,
I see the tinge of green beneath the dried husks
Of last year's finery.
The sky is lit with a new light,
Even the clouds have a happier look,
There is a sense of anticipation in
The wind that sends the leftover leaves
Chattering down the street.
Oh February! Don't pull that cover over
Your head again! Let Spring come forth
From the death like sleep that huddles
Over the earth!
Be gentle and kind to the small things
That peek skyward between the
Cracks of Winter's guise, making
My world a bit more bearable until
Sweet April comes to rescue me!
