Crystals

Crystals
Overflowing
A waterfall
Of ice
Flowing
A river
Cascading and bubbling
Over branch
Over leaf
Falling
To flower bed
A lake
Forming
Growing
Ever growing
To cover
Early bloom
Of daffodil
Crocus flower
Beaten
Only
In its white purity
By namesake
Dangling
As tiny bell
From green stalk
Snowdrop
Heralding
Winter's retreat
Spring's advance
Tiny
In stature
Yet huge
In its presence
Its significance
Winter wanes
Springtime cometh
