Old man of the cold season when your eyes close can you not expose your ears to the songs of birds that sing at the birth of springtime Can you not feel the warmth of the sun that dress the earth with flowers of beauty and decorate trees with green When you sleep, you miss the beauty of springtime you miss her mantle of flowers the warm, smiling sunshine the song of bees that echo in chambers of daffodils. Old man of the cold season why can’t you linger to witness the miracle-birth of spring? It’s so beautiful. |

I wish he was sleeping right now..he is very much awake in north central Pa. But you poem speaks of what is normal, and well, I need to add.. I enjoyed reading it, love the ways it sings of old man winter. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

He's (old man winter) been gone a while now, from here (South East Texas) and I'm actually missing him with the temperatures going up and the humidity closing in ... very nice write, my friend. Enjoyed, j. [This message has been edited by jwesley (04-12-2012 11:05 PM).] |
