WINTERTIDE *********** Shall I tell you what I can see, now that the trees are bare.. and I can look up forever? I see more than the blue-gray Winter sky and the dull drab texture of December.. or the far off furloughed distant sun..that makes no effort to keep me warm and smiling.. or the fuzzy yellow moon that permeates my darkened space throughout these long and lonely frosted nights.. Oh yes, I see so much more! I see the biting bleakness of my hibernal existance.. a harsh desolation that chills me to my very core. And, I grow weary with bitter resentment and constant discontent.. as I hang on to the fond memory of freshly cut grass and soft tepid breezes.. scented with Summer's sweet Honeysuckle.. while closing my eyes to Wintertide. joyce http://www.voy.com/7622/ mutington/joyce "I can live by myself, but not within myself." |

I'm sorry to hear about those winter blues Joyce, but this was a powerfully expressed poem! May Christmas love and cheer make your blues disappear! Thank you for sharing, my friend! May love and light always shine upon you! Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

This is wonderful, I see the nature in this one. I love it. "Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford |
