We Rise Again

cold winds blow,
snow, hail,

drums, dance,
bagpipes,
fiddles

rocks beauty painted,
windows, heart and rainbow,

waves lash on shores,
red spruce bends and bows,
jabbing heaviness

sunshine amidst blue
skied clouds

daffodil heads hang,
pansies weeping in pots,

april showers
marshal
may flowers.
