blades of grass
turns back often
greenness
it turns around
and retraces its self
a green spiral
of spring grass—
green fan

resides in its deep place

bent blades of grass
dripping green

greenness
is heavy, heavy
drops
the finale
of departing greenness
green wave
a color of wavering grass
as heavy as water

a rendezvous
of seconds and minutes…

snowfall
slowly
the clock ticks
sunrises and sunsets dissolve into whiteness. first snow, then second, then thirty-three days—a single, unbroken fall. weeks drift into months, each moment another flake in the endless drift. avalanches rumble and settle into silence. snow piles rise, then erode without a trace. so much time has come and gone, yet still, the white hours accumulate. seconds and minutes lose themselves in the drift, forgetting their own count. only winter remains, a vast and timeless zen of falling.

the fall is done. we have fallen into the deep, still heart of Northern winter. days accrue like snowflakes, each one a silent count since the first bright laughter was buried. blizzards have raged and spent themselves. now, there is only the quiet. we have sunk so far that spring feels like a myth. and still, ifall. not with a fight, but with the slow, soft acceptance of a snowflake finding its rest on the endless white.

this slow vanishing
into white
the snow falls, then falls more. am i to become this whiteness? my limbs pale. my soul, nearly bloodless. my mind, once churning ocean blue, is now a muted grey, imprisoned in shades of itself. i watch the distant, faint as a teasing lover. isettle. i accept this quiet cell. i am the falling, the fallen, the grey.

Winter, pale and fading, clings with one last frost-touched hand, her grip a memory of cold. yet against her, Spring stirs—warm-limbed and golden, rising without effort. where Winter tightens, Spring simply breathes, and the frost loosens. where Winter pulls, Spring turns, and her shoulder sheds a gown of snow. there is no battle, only yielding—a slow, certain release. Winter’s grasp slips not from defeat, but from grace, her own season spent. and Spring, in her heated glory, does not conquer. she simply arrives, and the world, ready, leans into her warmth.

she arrives with a shiver, a sharp slap of cold, a tickle of frost that makes you gasp. she beckons with a sigh, a slow, warm caress that lingers on your skin. she tempts with a firm grasp, holding you in a heated embrace. then, with a beguiling shrug, she lets the white shift fall. a bare shoulder emerges, then a curve of green. she is winter no more, but spring—new, lush, and already turning away, leaving you desperate to see what she reveals next.
