The mountain is gray and bare; its majesty lost
Soon covered with snow and tempest tossed
The storm now passed reveals its wake
Branches heavy, bending, breaking under its weight
Forgoing the silence of the night
A distant howl, a midnight call in the expanse of solemn snow
The sun now rises with blinding brilliance reflecting off the covered Earth
The snow melting and nourishing the new birth
Spring is in the air and flowers bloom
Color returns to the scope and view
Rewriting history and starting anew
Without a threat of pending doom
The seedlings grow and take root
On the mountain once forsook
The mountain is green and lush; its majesty regained
A sign to all who witness new life start again
Soon covered with snow and tempest tossed
The storm now passed reveals its wake
Branches heavy, bending, breaking under its weight
Forgoing the silence of the night
A distant howl, a midnight call in the expanse of solemn snow
The sun now rises with blinding brilliance reflecting off the covered Earth
The snow melting and nourishing the new birth
Spring is in the air and flowers bloom
Color returns to the scope and view
Rewriting history and starting anew
Without a threat of pending doom
The seedlings grow and take root
On the mountain once forsook
The mountain is green and lush; its majesty regained
A sign to all who witness new life start again

ReplyDeleteFantastic, David! The imagery is alive and inviting, the flow of the read outstanding, and the rhyme and rhythm...nearing perfection. I wouldn't mind hanging out on a mountain ledge to watch the coming season.
ReplyDeleteLove the imagery here, and how the poem reads. The poem has an amazing rhythm, and the lines, well, they are just so. It just all works, and adds up to a sublime depiction of spring.
