   In Search of Spring

Beyond these frost-fingered
  windows,
the wind-blown shadows
dance with wisps of mist
in gathering twilight,
and the spirit resounds
with fading-winter bells
and a cold moon rising…
to mount the grand-wild
  wind,
and ride in search of
    spring.

Over the snow capped mountain peak
Around the mirror clear lake
through the bare still branches
and in and out the forgotten cabin

A bird tells you, "spring is on the wing of your poem"

I like the idea of the wind searching for spring, novel idea.

I love the cold moon riding the wind to find spring.  Wonderful, Bruce.  It's on its way and will find you before me.

Absolutely beautiful, dear Bruce!

Your spirit rides the wind well and will find Spring hopefully soon.

Love.

Good morning, Bruce the Poet! I ALWAYS read your poems at least twice! The second read-through is done slowly ~ VERY slowly ~ as I totally immerse myself in each and every highly-descriptive mot!

This is another poetic gem.

May  your  Spring, be a glorious one!

With love and vernal blessings,
Linda

We read this one out loud in the studio this morning. I pass along to you the applause of several artists.
