Wrapped in crystals

as ice clings embracing each stiff branch

a frigid stillness makes hush

Blooms as if spring

arrived

abundant yellow waxy blossoms

brings warmth to a cold  heart

opens thoughts to memories

of singing birds buzzing bees

winter turns its blind eye

yet  bits of spring winks and glows

And then she takes her place
