nothing last forever

winter's icy grip is loath to loosen, and so rain turns to snow. a short thaw (and what a nice thaw!) freezes over again and is forgotten among the chills.
but spring has come, and will release us from the cold, but that we wait a bit longer.
no matter the depth of frost and cold, winter's fell grasp withers in sight of the lambent warmth of a new spring...
...or so we can hope.
nothing lasts forever.

i'm not just talking about the weather.
