Impatient Blooms

Impatient Blooms

Impatient blooms unfurl on the branches,
These last days of February,
Boldly ,taking their chances,
In this window of uncertainty,
A leap of faith it may well be,
I wonder what will be their destiny,
To wilt under the next cold spell that winter may bring,
Or blossom into a radiant spring?
