As winter fades to spring

As winter fades to spring
Leaves curl up from the bare branches of frozen trees
A new page is turned, a beautiful beginning.

Puddles of melted snow slowly rising
Uncover a verdant ground with a gentle breeze
As winter fades to spring.

Colors seep through cracks of darkness as they sing
Their sweet, simple melodies
A new page is turned, a beautiful beginning.

A lone daisy sprouts from the earth, its petals glittering
Restoring the beauty of life after a freeze
As winter fades to spring.

Many others follow this path, wonder blossoming
Even the darkest times end with lilies
A new page is turned, a beautiful beginning.

Finally, whatever wounded you, what used to sting
Drifts far away, into distant memories
As winter fades to spring
A new page is turned, a beautiful beginning.
