As Winter's Icy Breath This Heart Reminds


Icy frost grows thick on dead toads,
winter's breath drapes snow laced airs 
great the sorrows upon this road
as looms darkness of such despairs 
Yet life demands this walk alone
in silence born of pregnant pause
too much of life has swiftly flown
for soul to find another cause.

Alas! Will such pains ever end
Can dreams return my truest friend?

Shall we learn to eat dying words
as penance for world's bellowing ills,
flee dark skies as storm chased birds
eat decay of innocent kills?
Yet hope begs tomorrow's tales
as beauty of a rose's bright red
thrilled with its sweet pungent smells
forgetting of life's many dreads.

Alas! Will such pains ever end
Can dreams return my truest friend?

Winter's breath, reminds heart's great loss
aches gasping within dark repose,
as trees blow shaking frozen moss
sad sorrows gift their heavy blows
Pity the spirit this loss feels
as whipping winds deny sweet hope
of love's return, promised thrills
now so far beyond earthly scope.

Alas! Will such pains ever end
Can dreams return my truest friend?

Robert J. Lindley, 
December 3rd, 1974

Old Note- deleted...

New note: While perusing through some of my old poetry journals 
I found this old poem. It struck me with its depths of despair
from a great loss and how bleak my life and future look when in 
such a sad state. I remember walking in the woods that morn and 
thinking how starkly bleak the winter landscape looked-- 
much to match the icy cold stabs of epic pains in my weeping soul
that I did at that moment so very deeply feel...
Presented now to show even when at greatest of lost hope, in the
deepest of despair, hope exists and oft delivers a far brighter
future than one imagines. And life goes on...
I hope this old poem and this note may help any that are going through 
very trying times now. God bless..
