Continuum

Dawn iced the birdbath and crisped the sunless air to show time for winter to claim its shivered share. Indeed the season is born again anew just like the ones as a boy I knew. So it is with every season since planet’s birth. Each comes again asserting its worth and blessing during its stay Mother Earth. This winter now upon me will be endlessly back in perennial wave after wave ages after snow first covers my grave.

G’day Paul … and to think how lucky I feel with summer approaching. I shiver at the thought of iced bird baths and frosty mornings - all the best Paul - Lindsay

Thank you, Lindsay. With your summer approaching, now would be a good time for me to move to Australia. Besides, I've always wanted to go there. Hugs xxx Paul

I can feel the coldness in this poem, each line, but still it is a wonder of mother nature and we can always adapt to the weather...

Silent One: I appreciate your comment, especially the sentence about feeling the coldness. Fortunately, we humans are adaptable beings, as you note. Paul

Jan, Please know how much I appreciate and value your kind comment(s). I relish them, even as I relish your incomparable poetry and marvel at the depth and breadth of your talent. I think I must have done something exceptional in the pre-existence (Mormon doctrine) to be worthy of your friendship. Hugs xxx. Paul
