Endless Winter

Poetic Healing

Dreary, dreary
The days creep on
Only hope remains
For a miraculous explosion
Of warmth on skin
Green bursting forth

Softly, softly
I hear spring arriving
Birds impart their melodies
New buds peek through
Only to be thwarted by
One more blanket of cold and wet

One can only imagine
That such an endless winter
Will usher in an epic spring,
A sense of renewal
Gentle tears
Washing clean the earth
And souls
Carrying away the sting
Of winter’s pain

    Ashley, just wanted to visit a bit and thank you for liking my poem on 20 Lines, this novice really appreciated the encouragement. i wrote something similar to this poem, around the same time too.

    Chicago finally had some sun and blooms are popping up everywhere, hope it’s that way wherever you are too. 🙂

      Thank you for visiting my blog! Yes, we are finally getting spring here in the Louisville area. Not sure I’d call it “epic” but at least it’s green & warm!

        i’ve grown to love Louisville, my in laws live there and we visit quite often. and no, our spring isn’t anything close to epic either, let’s hope our summer makes up for it!
