Everlong/Evergreen
Dan Webber
After an endless winter
the spring has finally come,
a reminder,
that all things will pass
eventually.
In defiance, nature remains
guarded by tall tree
and howling wind.
The beauty of the forest
is untarnished.
Frostbitten or sun kissed
upon doorstep, or far, far away
travellers and explorers
old and new
are welcomed in
in equal measure.
These whispers from the woods call:
Come.
Sit a spell.
Breathe in the good air.
Calm mind and soothe body…
The skinny
