Wrapped in ice like frozen wishes,
dormant in the blinding white,
‘round the limbs of waiting jounces,
spring is striving to ignite.
...yet grey the cloud and moist the air,
with sullen mood that broods despair,
‘joy the beauty of this night
ere starry skies your soul delight.
come on spring...and warm us once more...

ReplyDeleteCome on spring, yet sit back and see the beauty of winter as well; the snow laden trees and ground, the crisp cold starry night, the knowledge of nourishment in the snow. Very nice indeed.
