Staring into the light

 

 

My eyes find an opening

on a cloud riddled day

as meadowlarks sleep

waiting for dawn’s beacon of hope

 

Misty skies drizzle steadily,

dripping from sloping eaves

in rhythmic patterns

causing ripples in the reflective puddles

 

Barren trees shiver

of winter’s chilled grip

searching for their leaves

lost on that first blustery day

 

Still silent winds caress my smile

as I stare off into the light I find,

warming me deep to my heart

in the beauty that is your love

I like the way this poem elegantly and gently leads us to the hopeful conclusion, like the first buds Spring peaking through the last of the Winter snows. It's like a kiss shared between Winter and Spring.

[Cool Girl]

Haha, yes indeed:) You're welcome!

[Cool Girl]

And it's not my fault that I'm speachless. You're the one who made me this way xD

Very good write indeed. The message is so positive and you can almost feel the breeze as you stand among a grove of trees, at the edge of a forest glen, on a still chilly autumn morning, looking up at the leafless branches and the partly cloudy sky.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Your review is very poetic in itself. I am happy you enjoyed this one.
