Fickle Spring


Spring is a smiling maid one day.
Gentle and warm she scatters fragrance
And dressed in sprigs of May
bends sensuously her merry dance.

She will not stay,
But loves to reappear disguised.
She sheds the garb of youth and play,
and shudders in a cloak of ice.

Coquette
She teases.
Chameleon of changing hue.
Wind blowing from the north
Transposed by whispered breezes.

How can we believe in you?
