Winter’s Ebb it was February’s four-thirty hour sun was bright shadows were lengthening by the minute moisture had begun its rise from earth in air coating my skin nipping my neck and shoulders it seemed to take its rest a little heavier than moments ago wilting the strands about my face mimicking sweat upon my chin escaping wind’s toweling, it bathed the hollow of my cheek, even stepped inside with me and waited to be dried in the hearth-glow its tenacity amazed me taking long to wane the moist grip that encircled me at last home’s heart clothed me in downy warmth making me free to the open arms of labor and toil ©February 16, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I like this a lot, Virginia! Brrrrr! That's why I moved from Chicago to Florida. And now I can escape into the warmth of the forest. Wheeeee! Thanks for sharing! ((Virginia)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
