Underneath the snow and ice
Below the snow and cold weather
Hidden beneath the snow and freeze
Beyond the snow and icy conditions
Submerged under the snow and frost
In the area covered with snow and frost
Past the layers of snow and frost
Where snow and frost prevail
Behind the blanket of snow and frost
Through the snow and frozen surface
The earth is firm and icy
The ground remains solid and frigid
The dirt is stiff and chilly
The land is compacted and freezing
The terrain is rigid and frosty
Beyond the snow and the ice
The trees stand sleeping
Brown and bare
The trees keep trembling
Swaying in the wind
Too cold to share
The dead stems shiver
Withering and wavering
It is now winter
It is winter
We often question if summer will come again
We ponder if the season of warmth will return
We ask ourselves if summer will ever make an appearance once more
We contemplate whether the days of heat will return
We find ourselves wondering if summer will eventually return
We inquire if the warm weather will ever come back
We reflect on whether the time of year known as summer will return
We consider if the season characterized by long, sunny days will return someday
We think about whether the period of summertime will arrive again
We speculate if the summer months will one day return to us
Will summer ever return the sunshine?
When November is over
When December takes cover
When winter is over
We wonder
Will there be clear skies following the rainfall?
Will there be joy following hardship?
Beneath the snowflakes
Hidden stems
Beneath the frozen earth
Buried roots
Beneath the hardened crust
A million seeds are present inside
Buds
Buds on the stem
Buds on the roots
Secrets remain hidden until the following summer
Burying them so they can develop into flowers
Flowers that form the core of a dormant plant bloom
A little warmth
A taste of licks from gallons of water
Afterward, dormant flora come back to life.
And sleeping life awakens
A dormant existence stirs from a painful sleep
A quiet existence emerges from a tormented rest
An inactive state rouses itself from a suffering nap
A sleeping essence wakes up after enduring hardship
A passive life begins to stir following distress
Toads and ants and spiders
Hot-weather creatures are also resting
Sleeping under withered flowers
Snuggled beneath the leaves
Sleeping until the weather gets warm once more
To bring existence back to slumber
To stir vitality from rest
To revive consciousness from dormancy
To restore energy from repose
To initiate awakening from sleepiness
Seed
A bundle of life in a compact size
A supply of provisions in a small package
A small plant enclosed in a small bag
The seeds of existence are contained within
The seed of the mustard plant
…a seed of faith
The acorn of the oak
…a seed of strength
The seed of the willow tree
A willow seed
The willow’s seed
A single willow seed
The seed from a willow tree
…a spark for greater accomplishments
A seed hidden within the uterus
…a seed of life
A small existence contained within a compact form
Becoming a greater source of vitality for life
It is winter
When we wonder
Will summer come back again?
Will summer once again restore the sunlight?
After the cold…chilly weather
We wonder
When November is over
When December takes cover
When winter is over
After January’s dragging hangover
We wonder
Will there be sunlight following the rainfall?
Will there be joy following suffering?
