when fresh leaves spring from a summer's fall
when the wintry wind blows their chaff aloft
look for the breath-blast blown through trees so tall
look for blankets warm in coverlets soft

milk-dew dried on a winter's morn
lays like petals strewn by the bride's brigade
potpourri cracklings on strands are borne
like palm leafs laid ere nature's parade

and nature's world shrinks beneath its sod
to a nether-land of cold's warm dreams
away from the chilling hand of the kosmos-god
where all that is, is not as seems

and though it is all, 'tis all for living
cold winds blowing, seasons freely giving

life to them all when life's all is ending

With seasons, as in life, each ending marks a new beginning.

Lusciously descriptive!

Have a happy winter, then spring, then summer, then fall ~ many times over!

Steaven~

'nature's world shrinks beneath its sod
to a nether-land of cold's warm dreams'



Ah, the originality which I seek from your ink~

Yes, oftentimes it is not the way it seems to be. And That is a blessing at times
