It was a long slow freeze. It had taken what seemed like an eternity to arrive. The temperatures fluctuated never holding steady enough for the conditions needed. The cold had finally settled in finding permanent refuge there, where the light could no longer try to shine its warmth. As time passed the layers thickened, steadily forming until at times it would be to hard to walk upon the surfaces that allowed thought to slip away. Even the mirror could tell how time had taken its toll. The colors had become so faded, so very lifeless. Crystallized images captured in a reflection no longer recognizable as the picture of what once was, but instead what had become. The spring had found its own reason to delay the coming season, but as all things must come to pass, so must come the thaw. It was a long, slow thaw. It had taken what seemed like an eternity…to arrive. {thanks for the inspiration Ed, much appreciated it.} /pip/Forum64/HTML/001034.html I must have had my momma's will and Gods Amazing Grace...

Sometimes we must hibernate, before the spring. This, is just an anology... and a beautiful one, at that.... Donna, I am so proud of you! |

Yes, Donna Exactly so. So much, in fact, that you've proved my point.....that I just scribble. If something I wrote, inspired this? Dang! Ed |

...but the thaw does eventually come, and you wrote of this in such a gentle and graceful manner... Lovely, Donna. Absolutely lovely. I am still feeling the emotion that your poetic words evoked in me. Warm, heartfelt hugs, Linda |
