During winter, the frigid cold,
Unending, darkened skies,
Wipes out the will.
In a death grip of dread and anguish,
Living forms give up, hope strangled from
Repeated days of desperation and fog.
Snow monsters arise, and everything withers
Away.
With the season, the will and optimism,
Depleting, extinguished joy,
Removes any desire.
Yet
In a constant fight of death versus life,
Living forms feel warmth, hope blossoms from
Springtime brightening and lifting.
Spring rejuvenates
Life.
