Awakening - a Quatrain Refrain










Awakening ~



Vistas from snowy mountain tops
seek balance with greening valleys
She emerges blitheful from sleep

Undercurrent powers shifted,
winds blow, new life set free to grow
Edges swell, winter's palm lifted 

Unstable avalanches steep,
changing vistas from mountain tops

Today at dversepoets.com we are writing quatrain refrains:
A quatrain refrain comprises eight lines:  two tercets and a couplet, eight syllables per line or iambic tetrameter, your choice, first line is a refrain, repeated as the last (some variation acceptable).
Rhyme-scheme: A-b-b
                            a-c/c-a
                            b-A
A = refrain line. c/c refers to line five having internal rhyme which is different to the a- and b-rhymes. The midline rhyme does not have to fall exactly in the middle of the line
