Flowers, pretty flowers in the winter turning brown, uncommitted to a future past your dying; petals, turning back to earth from whence your strength had come, dew drops on you no more form to mimic crying. ©2003 by icebox |

this one left me with a sad feeling of loss, in spite of renewal thoughts |

icebox....Yes, a sadness and acceptance of what is. Poetically clear and poignant. |

I loved the metaphors but I am NOT invition winter back... not yet, not yet... I am soooo tired of the cold and the snow. I don't care how much I have to sweat, I'll stick with summer till it reluctantly steps aside for fall's blaze of colours. sherry |

serenity blaze ~ I like autumn but in winter I come alive. I am really only human after dark and in the dark days of winter. Midnitesun ~ Me too; I had trouble with it. In a way, I did not want to write it - it wanted to be written. What I posted is much less maudlin than what it wanted to be. passing shadows ~ *smile* I had an uncle who told me that women should always be kept warm. Martie ~ The wheel turns whether or not we are still hanging on to it. Susan Caldwell ~ *smile* ...yes, this is more true than most people understand. Magic mystery ~ I understand. I too get to a point where I have had enough of scraping windshield with a credit card! *laugh* |
