Frosted Spring
Thou dost not respond like wind to autumn
cries unto this earth as newborn children
thoroughly beguiled at sight of first frost
washing downstream awoke with lush verdure
though perennial life evades the heat
stroke of good fortune undoubtedly yet
seedless and broken with despair unveils
thou dost not respond like wind to autumn
cries unto this earth as old life descends
