Today the very winter's springing by, dross snow leaves memory fossils. Needing touch the bones deep marrow deals a trembling rush like thrills of hidden treasure; and mud from all the blackened snowbanks gathers and slides from melting follicles. Deep in the earth the flowing veins beneath the sunlight work in churning seas of old. Spring songs all cry with glorious mission, and the days now deal a powerful old hand; soon from sky to all with purpose does the blithe unpitying sun cure soothing winds, the winds that speak surreal, out of the height beyond the tradewind runs, wandering and shrill, praising the burning Sol.

Ethome, of course I saw the reference, but didn't want to presume any more than your poetic way of welcoming the return of Sol, and warmth! Will we be graced with another penning today? Please? |
