Sunshine kiss

[i ]Heartless winter, stayed longer this while.
No sight of colour to warm the eyes.
She has been hibernating all this time!

The blackened dead leaves,
Lay forlorn,
Wasted, withered
Rudely torn.

The frost has started to melt.
Oh, the sun is finally out!
One speck of green, she spies
Tender sprout, announcing life!

Soon the trees shall have green showers.
The riot of colour, in mad abandon.
The valley is going to sing again,
With the gentle sway of wild flowers.

Will she sing her merry song?
The frost stayed in the heart too long!
Something’s got to thaw this ice…
A sunshine kiss,
Warm and bright!
