Analysis of WINTER IS ALMOST OVER
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
The lingering sounds
Of birds chirping and singing
As they fly by
The engines roaring
As the cars pass by
Channeling a systematic step
The day begins
The warmth of the sun
Illuminates my face
The north breeze
Passes through me
Just drifting
In the moment
Damn..
