Harbinger of light
You dash the grey
Like sunbeams
Gone astray
You stir my spirits
Long dormant in this cold
You whisper new life
Into what was old
I count my mind another tree
That you occupy
Radiating glee
Joy, dressed in yellow and blue
And further more
I feel honoured by you
Most timorous marvelous beastie
Bringing Spring to my balcony
A most dear sight
As Winter puts up one last fight
And life's hue stubbornly remains
Pandemic blue
Harbinger of light
Thank you
