Moisture quickly as it was transformed
into ice crystals gathering together
into vast colonies of snowy white
now slowly melts with less vigor
to alchemize magically resembling
larger pieces of rock salt jewels
piled atop the rust of brown leaves
the green of spiky grass
too soon for evergreens prophesy
when pine cones erupt in wonder
opening layer upon layer bristling
with anticipatory jubilation
will release tiny seeds drifting
down spinning, twirling, settling
upon reaching moist beds of earth
to become like enchanted minions
tiny treasures for mother earth
transfiguring into giants
forest armies of green
