February passes by
lifting dead and dreary
days of winter weather leave us
feeling tired and weary

Into March we slide and tumble
deep freeze left behind
under foggy skies a jumble
peas begin to vine

Cleaning up the detritus of
tattered remnants spread
leaves and limbs in piles to burn
or compost here instead

So the seasons turn and cycle
spirals of becoming
live and die as we revisit
lessons well worth learning ~
