Winter Sheath





















Wind
Ice
Cold
Rain

Darkness
Light takes stage
Future unfolds

Ice fingers dangle
Pink with cold
Pricked and worn

Gloves, hats
Perched
No match for the temperature.

Spring releasing winters noose
Whispering hope
Into longing ears.

    i think that's one of the reasons why i love spring so much - because of the hope it carries and whispers into our longing ears...

    Oh, I do wish spring would release winter's noose here. I am totally tired of winter.
