Today's word is "ersatz" ... ER-zahts ... serving as a substitute; synthetic; artificial: an ersatz coffee made from grain. (Dictionary.com)
Release
This winter's hand will not let go,
It reaches, grasps and clings,
Icy fingers pull at our sleeves,
Allowing only an ersatz spring.
How these days frustrate us so,
As we long for breezes warm,
And bird's bright songs of joyfullness,
Or rush of thunderstorm.
Patience is by this hard time made,
As we long for a silver lining,
We try to smile and carry on,
While for light and life we're pining.
