Spring Pairing

Late Spring

All plants and trees know spring is passing.
Beautiful pink colors compete with purples.

Fuzzy seeds and pods are different though.
All they can do is fill the sky like flying snow.

Pinks and purples are the fashion of spring,
colors restrained by the cold all winter long.

But white finds its way into every season –
even cottonwood seeds like to mimic snow.
