Fading Cold
Moirangthem Minakshi Devi *
Frosty mornings ,tingling fingers and piercing gust,
Remains now a talk of the past
A rich warm colour overhaul the snowy hue,
Of days nearing , long scarlet and green.
The grim cold now sits veiled in shadow ,
Liberating strong gale,soaring through the valley.
Breaking the brittle bondage between the cold and warm.
Talking what it please of future spring
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow.
No more a campfire, no more a crisp winter hike.
No more walking on snowshoes,
As it's now time to walk on sand trails like we normally do.
The air has an aroma of springlike fog.
A new dawn now revealing trees and everything new.
Oh, it's a moment of sorrow that unfolds.
As I now see omen of spring being born ?
And hear the clamor of the fading cold.
