Where is Spring?

Grey clouds frozen to
the mountain tops
are tipped in frosted
Winter moonlight
above this dazzling
ice-crystal forest.
From somewhere
very, very far away
the tremulous
sound of distant
evening bells
rides the raw-cold
twilight wind
as ten thousand
tree-shadows
dance its
plaintive tune.
On a night
such as this,
does Spring
live best in
grand memory,
fine hope, or a
lovely dream?

--- b. e. adams

sorry folks ... had to correct a rather glaring error in the 1st.
posting of this one (it eluded me for several weeks until now)

Indeed, on nights such as that we do feel forsaken of spring! ~L

A moment like that is difficult to find beauty, but you made it look easy... I'll keep dreaming though

Spring is jesting when she says "I'm hiding I'm hiding and no one knows where but have no fear I will soon appear.
