Blair Mitchell '25
Beneath the frost-kissed earth, invisible, asleep,
A gladiator, bound in winter's embrace, sets fires ablaze with fierce grace.
In nature’s grand colosseum, its secrets creep,
Captivating hearts with its ethereal embrace.
Breaking free from winter's shroud,
A honeybee, painting dreams in strokes of bittersweet bloom, its spirit did consume.
Awakened, a fragrance sweet and intimately endowed,
Unfurling velvet petals, garnished with hues of crimson and fuchsia, in bloom.
A faithful servant, from struggle now free,
The crusader of time, adorned with epics and tales.
Flourishing in full bloom, a spectacle to see,
The symphony of colors begins to pale.
In Gaia’s melody it takes its stand,
The sweet sorrow testimony of nature’s hand.
