As the icy cold kingdom of winter is dethroned the revolution of springtime thaws reclaim despoiled lands, rendered bleak and mottled by deadening frosts and hard freezing rain that sucked life from the very ground beneath us A break in the clouds renders sustaining warmth to the bone weary travelers, tired of huddling in cold shelters from the frigid fangs of wind born chills, stalking the land like angry frost giants jealous of the warmth within our bodies As I look to the passing crowds, the familiar grimaces and squinting eyes have been changed into friendly smiles, resplendent in the sunshine that beckons the reclusive winter hermits to bask within it's amber gaze This is the time for forgetting the woes and laments sustained within winters dreary fold, preparing for the coming of summer, and beholding all the gifts of nature magically retrieved from the maw of a now passing season [This message has been edited by JamesBowie (04-02-2002 11:47 PM).] |

"This is the time for forgetting the woes and laments sustained within winters dreary fold, preparing for the coming of summer, and beholding all the gifts of nature magically retrieved from the maw of a now passing season"   (smiles) Oh James, the fresh breath of spring shines from your lips in these words, sweet friend, I too always find spring to almost mark a renaissance of joy and hope in everyones hearts, for sometimes the winter too makes me feel doleful! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, may this spring offer you great gifts and smiles, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
