There’s always that last moment of hope…
Silence absorbs the wash of colour
unconcerned with the voices
still chattering on below
Colour spreads like a perfume
undetectable at first
then you notice… something…
Skin tightens—hairs stand on end
mood stirs
eyes close
Deluge confronts anticipation
the winner takes all
Winter ghosts ravel into spring
ash-grey branches burst into green
beneath sunflower gold and sky blue
Open the windows
let the new beginning in
