Below Steely Cold Skies

Steel grey skies Ice cold winds Chilled waters In freezing tinge Mountains despondent Below gloomy clouds Bare naked trees No greened shroud Cutting waters flow Cold crystal pure Hampered by ice Winters contour White crocuses brave Winters wild Blooming early With their growing smile Even the heather Bows to the cold Internally in shiver Where normally bold This winters scene Below steely cold skies Isn't nature amazing How her plants survive http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/nature-8.php

The plants do have an amazing resiliency to the harshness of winter, James. After the Christmas freeze of '83, my mom was outside bemoaning the apparent death of an oleander. Mom died while looking at it, but the oleander came back. If only we could all have the return-to-life qualities that plants have. Obviously, a thought-provoking write for me. Thank you, dear Highlander. Love, Carolyn

Great write, James, mostly they do...Sometimes if it wasn't for a seed that got hidden away they would not survive...Sara
