        Love and Spring (#2)

Another deep-Winter evening settles
in with the smell of wood smoke
from distant hearths and sounds of
dark wolves scratching at the door,
amid the dust and bleak shadows
    of the now,
forlorn memory-shades of the past,
and fearful mists of futures
as yet powerless to be born,
to roll the moment into
one penultimate question of
all of life and truth and time …
Can Love be as deep and certain
as the boundless hope and promise
   of the coming Spring?

                --- b. e. adams (3/13/2014)

Certainly. It was an act of love that created all things.

Touch, but don't look

Perfect. I very much liked the laid back approach of this poem and the ending with the questions of love, hope and promise. This one, to me, is special.
