Small steps into Spring....

(photograph by nupur phatak)

A mind,
clouded with worry,
the biting wind
quietly
whirling around,
she,
deep in her memories
looks
forlornly
at the bareness of it all.

A moment
later,
looking up,
she shivers
in excitement,
touched
by a golden ray of Hope;
Another day,
another Sun,
another celebration,
Life is warm sunlight
on an icy peak

A promise,
to the tree,
that very soon,
it will be,
spring,
and green,
a time of birth,
again.
