Warming Winters

Warming Winters

In a warming winter climate

when the snow barely falls,

drizzling rain drenches the dirt,

and the usual winter white reverts

to a tiny forest of mossy greens

with a burst in leaves of grass,

fungi sprout in the deep dampness

to transform the old for new sustenance;

a tiny world from drizzled raindrops

grows lush and verdant beneath our feet

to last through spring when warmth grows hot

and dries all to crumbles in this same spot.
