Verse: Foothills in Late Winter

the foothills are warm in their yellow and green layers
the soil is soft and moist and alive as the season begins to change
the foothills lazily bask in the first hints of late winter warmth and sun
they close their eyes and release a contented sigh

the puffed clouds are happy to tease the lazing foothills
they like the sun, too, and bump and tease the green and yellow peaks
casting cool purple shadows across the rolling forms as they drift through the valley
the foothills close their eyes and release a contented sigh
