snow slowly melts
falls this time faster
then ever did before
life is always fleeting
counted days decreasing
take time to sip
from her swollen rivers
now in springtime flow
along tides now rushing past
enrich your soul in her bounty
life's quiet moments
the ones between your sips
those worth cherishing
can come in rushing tides
when you least expect such peace
on the currents of melting snow
