Winter a Lasting Wish

As I stand here, in the snow,
The world around me seems to grow
And even though the plants are sleeping
I can feel life slowly creeping

Into trees
And silent nights
And soon again there will be light -

But for now the frozen air
Places snowflakes in my hair

And so I wait for that near day
When this will
all
melt
away.

I stand here outside, on this hill,
And wish for spring with all my will.
