longest of morning's dawns ...

and to a tumbling season's change
   i give a spirited chase
waterdown upon the range
   dotting snow's sun-white lace

the body of my soul alive
   at it a wind does howl
game of life comes astride
   a gnarling hound-spoke growl

if my change at season's end
   falls in place with the breeze
auburn's glow to me still send
   sweep me among drift's leaves

'til white blankets lay silently
   on grounds of once green lawns
my wait for soft's touch of thee
   be the longest of morning's dawns

This is a beautiful piece, the whole thing, and I loved the last verse too.
