    Beyond all Hope of Spring

Like the most brittle, delicate glass
  or frozen diamonds
from this deep cave of night,
ice stalactites capture the moon
in pure and wondrous resplendence,
as a wild-lonely northwest wind
bears its long Winter witness
down the roll of fragile hours
to all who have wandered far,
on the trail of a vagabond star,
beyond all hope of Spring.

So beautiful that I feel the cold .. and I feel the lonely.

Love this one, Bruce.

Beautiful as always, Bruce - but, on a personal note, remember, that no matter how it may feel otherwise, Spring always arrives.

Lovely as always, Bruce. Chills me to the bone. Just means spring will be even more beautiful when it finally gets here.
