So starts a bleak winter of cold,
winds toss bare branches to and fro

Leaden clouds encircle all around,
the loud echoes, a nothing of sound

Bitter is the chill of a dark night,
sorrow’s song outlines the moonlight

Your quiescent face rains sad tears,
grievous pain, deeply a soul seared

In the air, sparkling diamonds float,
a frozen grief, crystallized lost hope

A white blanket to protect the heart,
from the step into the desolate dark

Oh Mali, look into forever and see,
under grieving tears, spring will be

that was lovely

may spring come early for us all



I am not always lonely even if I am always alone

beautiful..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Beautiful words, and a message of hope.  Very nice.  

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Thank you for your kinds words...this was written for a dear friend of mine who's sister just recently died after a long illness.  In a letter to me she made the a comment about the sparkling diamonds of snow that she saw while she was out walking one day.

"Come...dance with me, into my world of words."
