Draped in lean of limb Across the edges of waters skin And rough broken teeth That chews waves to foam Then spits them out In an echo of chaotic stream Are trees not yet turning heads But still Catching my eyes As I scan easily the evening fade And wonder how much longer Before this final warmth Begins its demise And I am left with ice To turn this view To black and white A negative of summer Turned bare Perhaps I’ll not remember this year The ones that came before And of how laughter from snow falling Or the quick stepped chill of morning Brought giggles while I re-built the fire Maybe I’ll not hear the strains of a song Holy And be brought to tears By some happenstance of notes Carried across the still of frozen air That seem to pierce this shell And take me to some ideal Of childhood I never quite lost Then again, It might just be time To learn again how to smile At flakes falling in slow spiral down To embrace the smell of coffee While wrapped in a blanket As one sees the sun rise Over limbs naked splay of reach For heavens sky Yes, Perhaps this year I’ll try. |

well I love winter (thus my nickname on here of Wynter Bliss)...and the snow no matter how deep. It brings one closer to self especially when the whole town is locked in and no one can go anywhere. I use to take evening-towards-midnight walks in the snow with my husband, and would watch as our tracks would be covered. I loved to wake to mornings covered white...everything fresh and new. It is cold today here...colder than normal by about 15 degrees and everyone is complaining about the coming of a hard winter...I say let it come...I am warmed by the thought. See, you made me feel again, today, Ron. Thank you hugss M |

  (sigh) And I know you can try if you put your heart to it, for each year is more than just a black-and-white still-frame or lithograph! (big hugggsssssss) May you see through more than just tiger eyes this time and see prisms too, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

"Then again, It might just be time To learn again how to smile At flakes falling in slow spiral down To embrace the smell of coffee While wrapped in a blanket As one sees the sun rise Over limbs naked splay of reach For heavens sky" Oooh, beautiful... thanks for that reminder to not take life so seriously and to enjoy everything I see and experience if I can  Life isn't really all that bad... just don't take it too seriously |

upon the barren limbs, you do find the full view of your tree of life |

Karilea said it best.... You write of 'hope' Ron. I have learned to enjoy all the seasons.. and I too loved to be 'locked in' in the winter.. In front of a warm fire with a bottle of chilled wine, and that special someone to cosy up to. This is a beautiful treasure...and I'm keeping it! ~Hugs~ ~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~ |

You don't just see through tiger eyes, but you see through your angelic heart which shows in everything you do. Crystal |
