Along The Road To Winter Now while the trees stand aghast as their green dreams fade, and so little to show for summer except perhaps another ring and a little wood inside. Now while the sun still searches for slopes it can warm, the places of unmown grass with leaf throws scattered like afghans to hold it in. Say we’ll be there, loll careless again if only for a moment, savor those last wildflowers before the days of no blooming. I am spring’s child, and I am gone all out of time now, my steps too light for the weight of it. I have no assurance and no place here in this waning season: see, I am green still, and I flower! Say to me too, remind me I’m the leaf that will not fade, though it bites me now, bites hard. I know the night frost cannot reach our slope of everwarm. But if you can, please tell me even if it is not so, that I am more and that this place is more than the last pleasant turnout along the road to winter. |

Jamie "But if you can, please tell me even if it is not so, that I am more and that this place is more than the last pleasant turnout along the road to winter." Fall and winter have their own beauty, and soon it will be spring again, and you will be the same dear person, only more!  |

Say to me too, remind me I’m the leaf that will not fade, though it bites me now, bites hard. I know the night frost cannot reach our slope of everwarm. But if you can, please tell me even if it is not so, that I am more and that this place is more than the last pleasant turnout along the road to winter. This tender plea deserves reassurance... with that promise being absolute truth, not simply pacifying words. Absolutely beautiful work!!! |
