winter's song



Beneath fresh snow
clean covers for forgotten tasks
a rest for thought as I decipher
a panic of birds for bread.

As a wind-blown this or that
makes lines like Picasso;
draws-in the eye then passions see:
a curve like a woman’s hip,
a vagrant stick paints
the ridge of  her lip. I  smile
as fluttered leaf shadows
make a butterfly like passion eyes;
lifts now and swirls among a crystal flurry.

Winter is a song of windy cedars
lean and brush, then hush for tympany
of rolling trash cans(--)within in
emptiness whispered words of love(--)
all rise to my eyes- a squint and blur

glad for chill sun, stillness between
gusts; pauses that uncurl and fill with
wishes for warm touches…

it's such a wonderful mixture or blend of nature's twists - cold, gusts of wind -with inner reflections of the outer world, showing the craving of the soul and heart.. beautiful, thank you for the pleasure!

beautiful imagery, almost a sensual feel to it. You make me rethink my position on winter. Linda
