December Days

Thesun rises slowly in skies of December
Still black is the hour of dawn
White frost lingers on until sunbeams remember
To lick icing’s glaze from the lawn

The sun lights the stage that it miserly renders
As nature performs matinees
Then closing the curtain to evening splendors
It selfishly shortens our days

December keeps all of the hours it borrows
But June holds the treasure to light our tomorrows

Crystal clear and succinct...this is a perfect description of Winter and my feelings towards it as well   Now come on June!

Hugs,

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.

This is pure enchantment, Liz. Hugs for the New Year!  

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

An enjoyable read.  I long for june days so badly I can almost taste them.

life is like a road: full of pot holes and dead ends.

Wonderful poem, Elizabeth.  I love all the seasons, unfortunately, where I live in California we only seem to have two of them....hot and chilly.
