 Winter’s Solace Leaves today for tomorrow The iceman cometh... I must find me A sound of summer To carry me through the coming Seeds disappear as birds feed heavy It is not September, But walnuts fell early And holes are being dug In portend Are but echoes of a time Remember my warm? Where would it be, This sound that is required ~ Winter months more than six Will be long in chill and dark Somewhere, a sound To hold within, wrap around Equating quilt to arms Arms wrapping love Somber sounding snowflakes fall Mind holds green and blue Will you find me this winter, Shuddering in warmth Of summer memories ~ Green pools of light, Reflecting you, Shadows give way, dark to light Warmth will melt winter. I have the sound, now, The sight, as well... It is your thoughtful smile, The flowers you bear And your pleased sigh. Seasons shall roll on their way, Soon shall come in time.  |

Oh my Sunshine. Now I am feeling cold! LOL! It is too early to be thinking of winter...and yet I must confess I was doing the same not a half hour ago. It seems I am not the only one who thinks snowfall might be coming early this year. It has been so cool the past couple of weeks that I actually saw a tree with yellow leaves yesterday. Sigh! Summer swept by too quickly for my heart. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

I am glad you brough us back to the warmth of today in such a way that we feel the coming of winter and will appreciate the warmth of summer....I agree that love keeps the summer sun in our hearts throughout all the seasons...**hugs** |

"of summer winds Are but echoes of a time Remember my warm?" Already, even here in Houston, I feel it, too. Karilea, this is such a sensitive and beautiful poem.  & *hugs* SIL |
