Progressive Relief

Winter has been reigning for several months, leaving Earth lifeless and still.
Today though has brought with it a feeling of change that can be sensed.
The sun beams down, bearing rays of warmth and freshness.
The icy landscape of the past has been fighting for survival.
Its efforts have now given way though.
What was once a glistening body of frozen beauty has now melted away into a mere puddle.
A puddle that leaves barely any resemblance of its former self.
The remains swiftly seep into the soil.
Yearning for a new life.
Like the moon yearns for the night.
Dying for a chance to feel needed once more.
Many moons have come and gone.
The ground that was once frozen and barren has transformed.
This metamorphosis has left earth filled with vibrant blossoms.
Filled with life.
Filled with an undeniable sense of pacification.
Like a river, Spring has arrived to wash away the past.
Arrived to expunge the frigid bitterness left behind by Winter.
A rebirth has begun.
Things will never be the same.
Which is rather comforting in a sense.
One breath of Spring.
Just one breath of Spring and alive once again.
