Colleen Wright - Winter Defeated

The long dual is almost at an end,
as Springs gains ground to defend
it's flowers and fruits for the new season
from the winter's icy slaying, with reason.

Sun rays strengthen and found welcomed
by all that has looked, sought and combed
to discover new life and a new found love
from the warmth of earth's nature and above.

Bursting buds show ever so bravely
as they peek out from plants suddenly
testing the tomorrow and it's new heat
to survive strongly and not to be beat.

Wicked winds wind their ways
away from chilly wintry days
to find new lands and places
and to test many new faces.

Now the feeling is of conceding
as the unwanted seems receding.
The Spring has now finally won
a new season welcomed - begun.
