our destiny
forever marred, chipped and scarred
by choiced made so long ago
when Winter rains resembled sleet
icing hearts replete
Springtime thaw a distant pealing bell
ringing...ringing...ringing...muffled silent!
held in Winters maw
frozen icy grip
Coldly rising flood escaping stony banks
sandbags not enough to quell the steady lava flow
What now?
Spring arrived?
Will glaciers melt?
Ice floes crack, subside?
Will new buds emerge to thrive,
growing stronger bathing in the warmth
rejuvinated after Winter sleep?
Will Winter sleet turned April rain
carry us along gentle babbling brook
caressed on either side by wildflowers passion scent?
Will Winter sleet be warded off?
Will newborn buds ensue?
Will roots once frozen soil surrounded
withstand loves hibernation yet to yield
sweet tendril shoots through hearts foundation
securing, extending, emphasizing
a Springtime love anew?

Yes, this is the all important question, one that has haunted my mind for a long time. I have found the answer I must believe:

       He has tasted the bitter kiss of failure
       Yet the season is changing and the first robin has been seen
       Charlie will rise again

I really like the track you are on and your imagery. I would suggest working on eliminating some of the repition here, but other than that, good work.

Love your work and love the questions in the poetry. The picture you paint is very real by using nature (as said above...

)

my only goal
