Last Days of Winter
Looking unfalteringly outside the frosty
window, I see the chilly wind swirl the loose and fallen leaves on the ground making
a nest or cover for small animals exposed to the nippy air
I see the bleak and naked trees shake their
exposed and bare limbs against the cold cold wind, I sense the day's end is
fading quickly and darkness will soon fall
The full moon rising and also reaching the end
of its retrograde journey of winter, we sigh with relief as I brave the night’s
darkness, sitting by the glowing fire and relaxing a bit after an exhausting
workout of life's burdens and expectations
A radiant fire, the fresh aroma of coffee,
wine or other sorts of comforts and the warmth of loving companionship nearby
me, to bring this day to a rewarding end
These kind of moments, bring my emotions to
the highest, as I watch the sunset and quickly fade into the West as small
particles of ice and snow lay solidly on the rose’s stem as the wind passes
them by and keeps them firmly on the thorns to survive
Making sure the doors and windows are closed
up tight, while grabbing a blanket to just sit by the fire and rest and taking
in each pleasure of love and life
For to love this well enough to sacrifice
other pleasures, to live like this is professed to be my bliss, something I
pray I will never miss for it would ruin
my moments of the past to see the darkness take away the light even when the
night is dim and black
That the blowing wind, the yellowed leaves and
the shaking trees have brought an awareness into my soul and eyes through the
love that surrounds me so closely after a hectic winter day of flak and hassles
