Every season sings a song.
The bells and sorrows
of winter
clang on and on.
But if Frost was right,
they, too, only last so long.
Stepping on
the turf of spring,
new birds fill their lungs,
have their say,
and hope renews that
nothing blue can stay.

For Writer’s Digest April PAD Challenge Day 1: Write an Optimistic Poem
Happy National Poetry Month!
Sometimes less is more, and never more so than with this beautiful, brief poem of yours. I took the link to the Frost poem and now I understand First Aid Kit's song "Stay Gold" much better.
