Blackberry Winter

Sweet breath of evanescent spring
Croons beneath every moon's phase
And to dark shadows of sun cling
Chill to follow warm winter days

Ice floats on zephyr of the fog
All serene daybreak strives to raze
To beauty divine epilogue
Chill to follow warm winter days

Amaranthine quintessence
Weathers ending hours set ablaze
Ash of snowy incalescence
Chill to follow warm winter days

Sweet breath of evanescent spring
Chill to follow warm winter days
