Winter's Come
In the back yard, the trees
Bare and grayish
Hold a stillness, as evolution's
Occasional leaf
Floating,
Finds its way home, to the blanket
After its tanning and wilting array
And after a pleasant guise,
A whispered promise,
To come again...
I hold so dear these times
These seasons passing
There with all sweetly, did me, kiss
And softly, does touch my life's
Final days,
The chill,and the warming presence
Of snowy bliss
As my heart feels the dewy echoes
Calling
Steaming up a lamentation,
Oh so ancient
Are these ever-experiences
These seasons passing
From youth's intricacies
To autumn's hues,
And tears
Bare and grayish,
Visually reminding,
My soul
My wispy spirit
Warm and welcomingly,
That,
Winters, come....

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Yes, Winter's come, but it is merely the harbinger of Springs eternal renaissance. Β The barren arbors sprout new wings, to soon fly again gently in the warm breeze. Β As the snow melts, the verdant hills again replenish themselves in the Spring's sun, and the emerald hues return. Β The hibernation is over, the bearers of humanity sing once more. Β Winter has come, we have weathered it's storm. Β But now, we are ready to bask and thaw in the Spring's early warmth.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
