The chill winds blow and dull his reason vague spectors swirl in wintry season frail shoulders hunch against the blast icy shadows veil sweet memories past He shudders grimly fists clenched tight through shrouded darkness into light the light of time so far and dim the breath of love once dear to him Strong hearts did beat a message clear not haltingly as now this frozen year the need was warm and tender...deep the joy of youth a plum to reap To ride the stars with careless measure each loving touch a jeweled treasure these wrinkled lips remember you softest petals moist with dew The old man knows of this and more that first hello to her...before the last goodby that blackest curtain oh, God! If he could be but certain Certain that the choice was true a noble deed worth pain's due the thought burns hotly in his chest just moments now from eternal rest the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

You are so masterful the way you weave this haunting tale into a tepestry of poetic wonder. I was spellbound as I read it. ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |
