Zhivago

Most write of love as though their heart
were but a garden
subject to the errant weed
but otherwise kept
by the seasonal application of interest
as in the spring
when delicate hands glove
to shovel compost.
To them
pain comes silently into the palm,
a blister, that, upon return to the kitchen,
yields to ointment.
They never learn
the howling of this winter steppe;
the shudder when the ice breaks
beneath the weight of desire;
the catch of breath
when from a distant line of trees
a wolf leaps
into the moonstruck.

A masterpiece. This is a masterpiece. Every line. I mean it. This is priceless.

And, as I read, haunting strains of Lara's Theme played ever so gently in my mind. I could see the ice and snow beautifully.. clearly! This is a keeper!

Oh...did I say I enjoyed this?

Very much so!
hugs, Nancy.
