A Day When Winter Said Goodbye
In the midst of morn she quietly rose
to greet the dawn of silent repose
She searched beyond the frozen hills
and through the bough's of crystal frills
She danced in dream as clouds rolled by
in hopes the sun would pierce the sky
As moments passed nil of light
the wind kicked up with all it's might
In tumbling turmoil the west winds raged
in fluttering beauty to turn the page
Within a breath a single sigh
the Winter wrath had waved goodbye
As sunlight burned of velvet white
upon her face a shaft of light...

ReplyDeleteHey, Rick, your poem is very touching and so much has been written about the seasons taking on the identity of woman. I always see winter as a "mean old man" - and perhaps that is because I am not a big fan of "cold", as it were.......... your poem is beautiful and gives winter a wonderful touch of warmth.........
