Sun rises orange
Coloring its cloud canvas
Unable to warm
Winter’s hold is ever strong
‘Til spring unleashes its wrath

Sun rises orange
Coloring its cloud canvas
Unable to warm
Winter’s hold is ever strong
‘Til spring unleashes its wrath
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~
Slightest signs of life show
Through blades of grass, green of stem
Call of birds, babies
Winter cannot hold them back
They are forces of nature
~~Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Feel the warmth of sun
Cutting through the frozen air
A bud shows its face
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Wilting foliage
Struggling to cling to life
Springtime in the wings
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Winter has arrived
Calling in the end of life
Blossom waits for birth
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Leaf saunters downward
Unable to cling to life
Winter has conquered
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Coolness of morning
Welcomed after summer’s heat
Nature’s refreshment
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The cricket’s swan song
Farewell with seasons change
Returning in spring
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blossoms fold in chill of fall
Sleep, to sleep as winter crawls
To wake again when spring returns
Sun and warmth and blue sky yearns
Glorious colors for the time must leave
Like lovers parted must surely grieve
We say goodbye for now dear friends
Awaiting the time you bloom again
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blurry eyed I wake
Smell of spring envelops me
Song birds my alarm
Only Heaven could surpass
The perfection of this day
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
