Should I put away my winter coat? The chance of snow seems so remote as spring weather seems quite near. Do I take a chance or feel the fear? Especially early mornings confuse, temperatures as low as my spirit. The steady, cold winds abuse. I lift my collar to shield my nape from climes I simply can’t escape. Damp chill cutting through the fabric of my soul, how should I know when it is safe to accept the loss of winter and leave my coat at home unhindered.
