April
April, two-faced friend
one foot in snow
one in sun.
One hand giving
ice, cold, clouds, snow
darkness, doubt, despair
Holding the earth
Frozen, austere.
The other, warm rains
and sun,
Blue skies, light, faith, hope,
enticing earth to
fruitful abundance.
April, let me choose
the hand!

I love your April poem, it certainly has been this way here in the desert this year! Easter Sunday it was 47 degrees and it rained on and off most of the day! So unusual out here!
But at least we have not have had snow yet!
