Winter In The Mind

Icicles on the railings of the old iron bridge, Glisten like jewels; A fitting winter’s crown Over hardened river ice. Trees wrapped in blankets of snow Slumbering thru the season, Offer little refuge on a cold winter day Except for silent reason To reflect, on the beauty along the way. Images of the white breath [...]

Falling Petal

It starts to grow in the morning dew The beauty it shines through and through Until one-day it is fully grown Being grateful its seeds were sown The flower has blossomed and it stands tall But sadly it knows it soon will fall For right now, it is so proud And in the shade, it [...]

This winter night still remembers The times of glory and conquests The times of shining smiles and faces The times of love and bitterness. Whenever you feel sad and lonely [...]

Winter Comes A’Calling

Oh, Winter comes a’calling To dampen life’s warming days Spreading across the meadow Where the last leaf of autumn lays How sadly does the dying leaf Flutter ~ to the frosty ground Its glow a fading ember Falling softly ~ without a sound No more to see the sunrise Above the forest ~ deeply green [...]

Winter’s Mistique

Deep Winter and the crystal icicles outside the window are hanging, forming into people’s faces I once knew now gone, watching them melt away out of the corner of my eye while rainbows danced beneath their skin shimmering, shining, translucently swirling quick silver reflecting distorted images of white icy trees, bending, their frozen branches reaching [...]

Wine by the Fire on a Cold Winter Night

Wine by the fire on a cold winter night a Gelid concordant. The snows of winter has fallen; and the Winds are decrescent Wildlife are Indefatigable In Winter-land Wine by the fire on a cold winter night.
