I just wanted to share another poem that will be in the upcoming book. We had about six inches of snow and it made me think of sharing this poem.
Winter Clouds Barren boney-fingered Trees reach to the heavens Searching For life in Winter clouds Brooding dark filtering light Holding back the warmth of Sun Teasing with glorious sunrises Sunsets that dazzle Waiting for the melting Season of life Heavy with snow or icy rain Turning the boney fingers Into a crystal wonderland Sometimes Dumping random mounds Of white like Cossack hats Accents to counter Starkness Winter clouds the canopy In natures rhythm A time to gather strength Storing nourishment preparing Sun Breaks through the grey Quilt and warms the earth A peek at the fluff of white Soon Light will come with The thunderheads of Spring and Summer skies
