FEBRUARY MUSINGS

                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                

       Hey February!
       Shortest though in length,
         No less adorable you are
      Than any other member

           Of the calendar year. 
    

        Standing apart therein,
       With a lustre of your own,
       You occupy a privileged slot,
       On Time's moving screen.

        You come as a harbinger, 
       Of hope and love and cheer,
      To all the creatures of  Earth,
      Tortured by the cruel Winter.

       Your arrival signals the change, 
       And relief from the unkind weather,
       The air gets warm and fragrant,
       With the breath of blooming flowers.

     The killer  snow begins to melt,
      And piercing winds turn warm,
     The frost makes a quick retreat,
       As the Sun is getting closer.

      Spring's around the corner,
      As your advent does suggest
     And though you'll soon move on
      The vibes you leave behind

      Are going to last much longer!
