Wednesday – Snow
It is spring.
Spring, when youth are full of life and
their fighting spirit dances.
Spring!
Spring, when a warm and golden breeze
touches the icy snow of youth’
suffering.
Nature, vibrant with life.
The season heralds blessings.
A stage adorned with dreams of joys and
sorrows.
It is spring.
Green leaves, flowers and birds live to
their utmost.
The philosopher smiles, even gloomy
hearts are pierced by the sunlight.
Spring, spring of freedom.
The joy of life dances in the heart of
youth.
Spring is near. Spring of the earth.
Spring of humanity.
