This strange spring

[smokingboot]

Maybe we have two moons and no-one told me. Talk about random tides. A friend dies, another friend's baby is born, a friend prepares to say goodbye to her best beloved dog, another friend watches her child growing in her womb, all of it happening so close together. Sunny skies, frozen earth, I don't understand this Spring.

The only constant is change, no?

Sunny skies and cold cold air are a promise, like the flash of an ankle or a half hidden smile. Winter is still here, but the sun has not forgotten us, and light and warmth will return.

Yes, I see that. Less than a week since your words, Spring opens the door...

This is not spring. Spring is waiting, fingerless gloves on thin hands clutching at curtain of frost. Drawing the pale translucent fabric up over her face so that only her large eyes betray her apprehension.
Waiting for the right moment to leap out and astonish us all with her beauty.
But not quite yet. The huge bear of a man who is Winter doesn't want to give up the scepter right now, hanging on with a strength suprising for one so old, "perhaps next month" he says, "you don't want to strain yourself..."
And spring stands behind the curtain, patiently waiting her chance to blossom.

Hah! Look! She turned up while we were dreaming...
