Winds rush through coats thin Chilling blood as it whitens skin Onward goes trudging Winds makes tears of ice Frozen on cheeks colorless Onward goes trudging Stumbling on numbing feet twice Rises to move relentless. The door blocks the winds And to the floor body bends, Winter journey ends. She rushes to sound, From sleep in her warm blankets, Winter journey ends As she wraps blankets around And beside him brandy set. Snow’s not abating Spring is still long for waiting But warmth is sating. Gloom |

Good morning, Professor! I was already feeling the cold before I started reading your poem! Then my teeth began to chatter as I read on! Thankfully you warmed me up near the end with the brandy which has put the pink back into my cheeks! Valentine hugs, EA |

She rushes to sound, From sleep in her warm blankets, Winter journey ends As she wraps blankets around And beside him brandy set. Snow’s not abating Spring is still long for waiting But warmth is sating. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beautiful...... |

Professor, I like this. Some will go to any length to get/find home. Curious why you repeated the line: "Winter journey ends". For her, too? Chilling and warming. Enjoyed, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Prof, even though it's a bit nippy here in Florida, the sun is shining brightly and I don't think Spring is too far away....  "Love makes the world go around" |

Thank you, All of you, I am pleased so many have enjoyed these words. The search for warmth, the determined journey for it. R2Y : the repeat of line is a format thing ~ this was actually going to be extended where the 3 line of the next 5 line stanza ~ would have been “But warmth is sating” ~ but instead I ended it with the arrival Gloom |
