Sunlight in the woods

after winter's pain
graceful hints of spring's sunlight 
trees awakening

walking in sunlight
enjoying the new found warmth 
springtime approaches

sunlight has faded
streetlights shimmer in puddles
watching the cars pass

brisk winter air 
sunlight through darkening clouds 
colors reaching back

dancing in the grass 
juncos feeding in the rain
what do they ponder?

in winter's sunlight
bubbles drift upon the breeze
harbingers of spring

though the air's still cold
the days are growing longer
hints of spring arise

dark clouds to the west
despite the ominous signs
continue moving

this cold afternoon 
sunlight flowing through the trees 
winter's mists absent

my finger's numbness 
moments deep within winter 
sunlight peeks through clouds
