Spring Ice
It is April, but
ice lingers on the trees,
bright in the afternoon sun,
a painful tease of seasons
a reminder of how time heals
but erratically, with cold pain
cutting into the new warmth
at the most unexpected moments.

Elegant piece. Forgotten pain does have a way of cutting at the most unexpected moments.
“Painful tease of seasons” is a lovely line.
Fortunately no ice here in Scotland, but still some snow on the mountains!
