Yellow

As winter’s most bitter breeze
Breached my defenses
And fingerlings of frost
Crept cruelly across my heart
You brought springtime into being
With the reassurance
That love never dies.

Just beyond a pane of glass
A storm was screaming
Deluge mocking my puny rain of tears
A suitable setting for mourning.
But time and distance yielded power
To strength of love and caring
As your breath thawed my soul
Daffodils burst forth in bloom
And hope's infusion soothed
As seasons changed.

I love the way this poem holds itself in...goes through the cold, and then blooms....just like my favorite flower. This such a Laura poem, so sweet....glad you shared it.

hmmmmm... I could have sworn I replied to this the other day???
Gremlins?
OK...so the anesthesia caused a blonde moment.

Oh well...ever the tardy moth...Im here now to say you know I loved the allits and the word play in this...and of course the hope its ending speaks of and the picture too.
Its just gotta be spring on a beach somewhere.

Through the water ... through the rain ... to the soul of everything
Wash my heart out on the stones ... and I'm almost gone.

Suthern -- I really liked this one -- don't you just love daffodils?! We went to eat at an Indian restaurant on the west side of town the other night and they had fresh ones in vases on the table. I had forgotten how absolutely pure and delicious their fragrance is. They smell like Spring herself!
