Thoughts about winter

Winter is a ferocious animal that steals old and sick and young animals.
Winter is a rock which cannot be inhabited.
Winter is the sharp beak and nimble claw of a bird of prey.
Therefore, we remind that small often-playing boy of spring,
the time whose purpose is to dance on the earth.
For this purpose the sun our mother will protect us, and then flowers will grow around our footprints.
