Winter Redemption When late-November rains steal the sunlight’s promise, and a chill wind-song wraps long, cold fingers about the mind and soul, leaving only… a lonely, haunted, brittle heart brooding and bereft of all hope, one remembers each and every plan and dream…long abandoned, (like forlorn and broken sentinels) standing forever on the chasmic edge of chance, and time, and life misspent. Yet all that is dark and grim and sad… must ultimately surrender, to the simple, healing promise of a lovely Winter snow! ~ |

When late-November rains steal the sunlight’s promise, and a chill wind-song wraps long, cold fingers about the mind and soul beautifully expressed melancholy, dear Bruce! Love your fine poem. love, Margherita |

Thoreau looked into his "perfect forest mirror," Walden Pond, and said --"the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." When he surveyed the pond’s depth in 1846 before the ice melt, he discovered – to his surprise - that its greatest depth was not found in its center, but at the intersection of the lines of greatest length and width. Amazed, he said, "What I have observed of the pond is no less true in ethics," proposing -- "Draw lines through the length and breadth of the aggregate of a man's particular daily behaviors and waves of life into his coves and inlets, and where they intersect will be the height or depth of his character." I see Thoreau among the influences here in your writing, and especially in this poem’s beginning and end. Superb, Poet! Greatly enjoyed. |

I think we all feel weight of the past at times but when you are able to use it to create such beauty with words then even sadness and longing has it's purpose. Ida |
