Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

i wait for you

beautiful friends, fisher of rivers
my vision now lonely; only sticks
and memories remain
to validate the space you own

in silence of the wind, i can hear
plaintive songs call warning
to my yearning imagination
my eyes, ears (and heart) remember

winter flies in on silver-gray clouds
brilliant leaves slowly rot under snow
and i will gaze upon frozen rivers
waiting for a boreal spring

eyes fixing on tangles of sticks,
as my emptiness waits to be filled
ears anticipating duet tones,
carrying conversations in midflight

then, again, i will be vigilant
in admiration of true magnificence
Osprey, fishers of cold waters
high-wires nesters, stately proud

i wait for you

Oh, dear Alison, this captured me deeply. There are both the feelings of joy and of melancholy for the change of season, so beautifully rendered.

Just saw a movie yesterday with quite a few sceneries of Alaska  (Sitka) and all the while I thought this is Alison's world. (The Proposal with Sandra Bullock ...).

"I wait for you" is wonderful and I will be waiting for your winter poetry with joy.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

This is melancholy magnificence! *S*

Yearning expressed VERY poetically, dear Lasky Girl!!! I could feel what you were feeling. See what you were seeing. Excellent piece of writing. This is now one of my new favourites of yours!

I especially liked the following lines ~

"and i will gaze upon frozen rivers
waiting for a boreal spring"

"Osprey, fishers of cold waters
high-wires nesters, stately proud

i wait for you"

Alison, this is wonderful!!!

I imagine the winters are loooong and hard up there in Alaska Land.

Love and a big warm hug,

Linda

excellent, powerful 'write' ...

grand-fine imagery!

I am especially fond of:

"winter flies in on silver-gray clouds
  brilliant leaves slowly rot under snow
  and i will gaze upon frozen rivers
  waiting for a boreal spring"

MUCH applause for this 'penning' !!
