A Poem about lingering winter...

* * * 

ISOLATION...

Winter sorrows lurk again

draping me in tight shadows.

Isolation by the fire...

drinking hot cocoa.

Ice and snow propelling me

inside where sun is denied.

Through the pane sun romances...

but I know better.

Outdoors reigns cold, while indoors

my heart is frozen in time,

stopped when summer departed...

leaving me undone.

Spring waiting to start again.

Fresh air breathed on nature's stage,

kaleidoscope of life's hues...

spinning round and round.
