Jewish Month of Adar

Seasonal Struggle
The earth is canvas for competing colors
Umbers and grays and winter white
Then pastel promises and sprigs of green
Only to return overnight to winter’s palette
What a struggle!
 Seasons competing for the leading role
The push and pull of barometric pressure having its way
With my heart and my soul
Until Rumiel, Angel of Adar, perspective-giver,
Rises up within me to join the eagle
In a bird’s-eye—angel’s-eye—view,
Revealing the panorama which can never be seen
amidst the vying forces,
And then trailing after her the loosened chains
That released weary winter of her last-grip-effort,
Allowing spring to stay
At last.
