As time slowly stills,

waiting for spring’s hills-

of flowers that draw in the rain.

As the chilly air is all that remains-

of winter’s comforting embrace,

when there’s only spring’s grace.

    I know I’ll never find the words.

    They jumble together,

    like the sunset’s melting colors.

    For every excuse I make,
