Notes About The Poem

BENEATH THE FROST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The year begins in hushed white, a blank page heavy with snow. Bare branches etch their prayers against the indifferent sky. Something stirs beneath the frost~ not hope, not yet, but the slow turning of roots in the dark. We are all waiting to be thawed.

Simply marvelous, Sara! The image of anticipation waiting "to be thawed" in the hibernation of winter is poignant and captivating. New beginnings on a blank page of snow. I love this one with its depth and perspective on waiting and hope. While we don't have snow, it does get chilly. In the midst of our winter, my Daphne starts to bloom in January. I can see the buds forming in anticipation ready to pop even before the crocus and snowdrops bloom. Sending you blessings for the new year.
