What Comes After Winter

What comes after winter? I ask.

Some say water from the melted snow.

Some say animals out of hibernation.

A few say Caterpillar fully grown.

Here and there, an Anteater is named.

A handful mention young ones ready to face the day.

But when I look at the sky and the not-so-there sun.

I add it all up and call upon the sun

to testify to my proclamation and

agree with my reasoning.

That after winter comes it all:

spring, summer, fall and winter.

A spring of life

A spring of death

And after winter came the sun.

The sun, the spring and life to all.
