Thaw

Thaw

A noise that starts off slowly

Imperceptible in the background

Slowly

Building

A bit of a crack in the distance

Then suddenly a thunderous roar

The sounds of the thaw

Permeate

Invade

Time has come to move forward

Spread out from winter’s grip

Its hold gradually lessens

Then

With a snap

It is over

The silence is deafening
