THE MALLARDS have left for the north.
The lake where they once stopped for a sip of water is now left abandoned.
The grass they once stood upon is left untrodden.
Ending an unwanted privacy, the once shrouded sun has appeared.
It shines upon the lake to keep company,
And gazes down upon the grass to lend a helping hand.
With this vitality, spring is here.
