The snow melts,
a world thawing
after a harsh winter battle.
The sun brings a subtle reminder
that a Nebraska summer
rests on the horizon,
bearing heat and humidity
in its midst.
The in-between of spring
shakes off the sludge of winter
and begins the fight for new life
and bluer skies.
The biting cold of January
has gone into hiding for another year,
followed closely by the
brisk breath of February,
as the sunshine of another month
Marches in.
The skies mourn the loss of another season
with the tear drops of April showers,
drenching the dead land back to life.
And as the gravel of winter finally washes away,
the escape of June moves in with
clear blue skies and fireflies,
that bring a renewed sense of hope
to a land I call my home.
