as white blankets
and jonquil's beauty and snow's splendor kiss.
It is a time of unsolicited cover
and yet the gift is felt and seen
in the moment that will soon fade,
leaving only a smile of remembrance
of the glory revealed.
Spring brings what no other season can...
an understanding of the fragility of life
so quickly gone.
Drink deeply of this beauty
made available only between blinks.
And the glorious beauty is a fading flower which is at the head of the verdant valley, like the first fruit before the summer...
