Dear February (Act 3)

New moon spinning wildly

crusted snow lay on the ground
Silver plated bluffs that shine
with velvet pine for crowns

The river sings a waking
lullaby across the land

Frozen spears of water falling
crashing quite unplanned


Mountain towers casting shadows
greenish blue and gray
Hardwoods furred with purple buds
stand ready on display

Beech and maple finally shed
their copper leaves remaining
New buds pushing soon to open
nothing left restraining

O dear February every
year we aim to row
your bracing waters
bank to bank

the roiling river flows ~
