Snowdrops

Snowdrop


Spring soft her feather white tears
fall floating to the winter ground
in love's embrace she caresses
the masculine polished earth

soon dressed in the cloak
of her snowy kisses
his armour wrapped in the mantle
of that love and the two entwined

til melting spring and snow replete
with tiny feeble shoots aglow
green the new youth steps forth
bowing his head to the snowdrop

The birth of spring and winter's love
in tiny flower a precious bud
a miracle child in petal small

the sign of winter's enthrall
