Come, closer to my bedside,dark winter shadow join me in dreams, bring snow, black trees, sharp lingering thorns jagged, tearing, drawing scarlet blood. Cold but never more alive, moon beaming through bitter fumes of ice mist, wind tapping rythmic hypnotic mystery with bare bone twig fingers.Frost filled ground hard as stone,glittering pathways for amber eyed foxes, wooley, leaving only pungent scent as their witness,then gone into darkness before dawns black slash splits night,stars,day,sunglare. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu 6th century BC. |

Come, closer to my bedside,dark winter shadow join me in dreams, my favourite part, full of anticipation and longing for cold, dark winter nights & cosy warm fires, well worth waiting for... |

You capture the pale eyes of winter and it's cold invasion of icy fingers. I'm left shivering, listening to the rain rush the eaves and sough against the roof during these wee hours of sleeplessness. Yet you leave me mesmerized in the clutch of diamonds that only winter splays in spangle and moonlight, in sonatas of search and silence. The ghosts of summer all slumber but for the foxes with their amber eyes, and I am cherishing the warmth of my bed.... How beautifully you paint in frosted vespers, still winding Goldenrose through the thorns! |

Very compelling images here, Goldenrose. You have produced a stark, yet heartfelt piece of art, with crisp word selection, and rivetting description. Peace Jim "We are stardust: we are golden: and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." --Joni Mitchell "Woodstock" |

"Cold but never more alive, moon beaming through bitter fumes of ice mist" Fantastic imagery, Phil. Gave me a chilll and a warm smile at the same time. |

I reread this now that winter is knocking at the door and you describe it perfectly, the cold dark nights, silhouetted trees and bright moon...brrrh I'm off for a hot drink.  |

Hidden inside those winter trees awaits a beautiful magic, only when the soft, fluffy flakes of love land upon them, do they come alive, brightly glistening in the blue moonlight of loves night. |
