Hope

crocus-snow

The snow may fall
On new spring flowers
A blanket
Of winter gone by

The clouds may build
In great black towers
Terrifying
To the eye

The world may shake
Even the greatest powers
For all
Must one day die

But I look up
With hope that never sours
And see
The big blue sky

For

The snow may fall
On new spring flowers
But life
Life
Will always try

***

We had 8 inches of snow yesterday. Today, it is almost gone.

  Thanks, Penny :) When I saw the crocus, I ran back inside to get my phone – I had to get a photo!

That’s a lovely photo, Trent, and a perfect title. We haven’t had snow this week;’ we just have a lot of rain – and mud.

  Thanks. We have entered mud season, something that this bit of wet snow hasn’t helped…
