Spring Snow

I wrote this little poem for a friend who sent me a wonderful photograph, on the first day of spring, of a room with flowers on the table, a fire in a stove and snow outside through the windows. I titled it differently for my friend, but “Spring Snow” for the rest of us.

Spring Lilies on the table

And a fire in its place,

Mark the season’s change to spring

Despite the snow’s embrace.

The white beyond the window

And the warmth from hearth and heart

Comforts all who nestle here

As snow and cold depart.
