seasonal scenes




As the Wind Blows

The beauty of the falling leaves
Colors the winds of November
Blowing across the willows' reeds
Sending seeds for April to remember

Chilly air of coming snows
The sparkle of a white December
Frozen streams in frosted meadows
A mirror for the golden rod, amber

Icy days of January nights
Sliding through a weary winter
Cold arms of sleeted trees
Bending in laden solid shivers

February comes a fleeting thaw
Bringing sheets of ice broken
An opening of the trembling streams
A temporary warming token

Frigid winter will not give in
Blustering and flustering all about
Snow swirling fattened flakes
Create a blanketed silent whiteout

March is a blizzard of chilly winds
Carrying sleet upon its powerful wings
Again the air is crisp and cold
But then a crocus rises to sing

Of hope and new life neath the earth
Waiting for Spring to open her eyes
Allowing the buds to sprout their glory
Among the warmth of sun-filled skies.

We don't have much winter down here anymore--not like when I was a boy. I remember snows knee deep many times from when I was young but never any like that for several years. The last bad winter I saw was in the early eighties. So far this year we have only had two frosts and they weren't bad ones--enough to stop the growing season, but still not huge frosts considering the time of year.

Great work my friend.
