Am I Dreaming Again

On dreary winter days when angels weep,
I pull a memory from those I keep,
and dream of dancing in the summer’s sun.

As winter’s cold devours each brown blade,
her blanket of snow covers hill and glade,
I dream of dancing in the summer’s sun.

When leafless limbs get whipped and tossed,
I look through my window burdened with frost,
I dream of dancing in the summer’s sun.

For the 16 years, I spent in Montana, spring showed up around the middle of June. then one month of spring, one month of summer, and one month of fall. Thanks for sharing your talented and wonderful poetry.

Keep dreaming, and I don't mean that sarcastically. Before you know it, reality will match your dream. Here's to Spring, Gershon

Thanks, Karen. If I had my way, I'd sleep the winter away. Wake me in the spring. Have a grand day, my friend.

My favorite is autumn, but I'll take any season that is not winter.
