Eavesdrop Percussion


Icicles extend in gleeful raindrop sound
Long and lean, their crystal spears, thaw to touch the ground
The quickening of time, spent in worshiped sighs
Once a hardened truth leans toward softer lies
Capturing the sun, dilute of flame or boil
Clear articulations wet the sovereign soil
Rhythmic vanities, slip in joyful sum
Once the force of mighty cold, puddles to become
Listen to the way of winter passing on
Clear and resolute, to beat in certain drum
A delicate command, the slightest turning point
How quiet is the power pure, that nature does anoint
So too, does melt to flow, as subtle pulse to course
Once in winter sleep, heard as forth it pours

I'm feeling the slow but promise of a thaw of your poetry  soon to make mush out of an old man's winter heart

An enjoyable read, K. I am really ready for ol' man Winter to take a hike.
