First and last

The first leaves are out and use the sun
whose warmth can finally set free
the structures that long have begun
to form in buds, not yet to see.

Last autumn days are known to start
the wonder that gives life anew
in buds carefully packed, apart
from everything winter can do.

So every spring we can enjoy
the spiral of updated life
which nature offers as a ploy
to conquer winter with its strife.
