A Wind in the Ghost
©2006 C.G. Ward


blossoms bleak, blue -

    a crisis in development.

fall has past [fallen],

    spring lurks atop a crag,

and a wind in the ghost

    echoes of sunlight to come.

--     --     --

grieve not these descending petals,
these distant cousins that define us.
they are but symbols of a good death.

very, very nice Christopher.
spring is lurking .. and winter teases it to come just a little bit closer.

Enjoyed this.
Chris

a stunning look at a new season, that will breathe life anew..... I always enjoy and appreciate your style of writing .... hugsss and stuff...

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding

thanks, guys - looks like another day of teasing.. after a storm last night that killed our power, it looks like a day fit to be at the beach!
