The elements at nature's call
take pride of place in her
trust that they will bring to bear
all that has been entrusted to them
masters of the wind and rain
wardens of the sky and the earth
ushering the seasons to their
assigned time span and
enhancing the verities of distinctive
assignments in awakening creatures
awaiting departure of winter's long reign
in a return to life suspended far too long
reflecting the reluctance of one
to surrender to the presence of the other
not a contest for popular acclaim
but to proffer relief from incessantly
dire conditions complicating existence
wearying the impotent held captive
to an endless hiatus whose time has arrived
yet irascibly refuses to exit.
