at last

now ends this winter of our discontent
on record as the wettest and warmest
in over one-hundred years
when we struggled against the depressions
as isobars flung piercing winds
which poked into our souls while rivers overflowed
into fields, roads, farms, villages and towns

at last the sky is now more often
that long-forgotten blue with golden hue
to wake our minds to spring
