Healing Streams
Winter's gone,
the bitter cold that turned tree and shrub into a stone,
retrieves its breath without revenge,
its grip no more on edge.
Ice, thick and menacing before,
now shrinks its glassy face,
it melts into quick, cleansing streams
cascading down the hill,
and running under Rainbow's vow,
fall to restore and heal.
