What Might?

what might the morning bring
‘sides daylight and winter things?

could it bring silver and gold
and dreams well told

or birds that soar on the wing?

could the sky in reply
loft the rain or bow by

could the earth in sweet mirth
regale in new birth

without the winter’s comply?

the air out there
is as warm, I declare

as a morn in autumn or spring

but the geese have flown on
to asouthern dawn

and the calendar is doing its thing.

so the starlings dance by
in formation they fly

rejoicing the warm of the day

trying hard to believe
that winter’s taken its leave

and its time to come out and play

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(smiles) This is sooooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I believe the winter holds so much magic and suprises and it is all weaved in far more than silver in gold! (kiss on cheek) Let's all go out to play, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
