Delicacies

...to Juvie

With airy tread your footfall makes no sound,
as crackl’d leaves bestrew the frozen ground.
The lightness of your voice floats on the breeze,
its delicacies set my soul at ease.
A white-flecked silence hovers o’er the croft
and echoes perish, silence settles soft. 
Weightless and peripheral you flitter
‘twixt snowflakes, and the robin’s cheerful twitter.
The beauties of the world are ours to hold,
to cherish and to share as they unfold.
     You pass, as gentle as a soft spring rain,
     as I behold your beauty once again!

This is beautiful, Keith! One of my favorite adjectives when reading your writes! Feels like a sweet, and subtle tribute to the seasons, and tender farewell to winter. Snow has melted here...mutter mutter..and Spring is arriving..YES! Hope all's well with you...Wishing you and yours the best! Happy Easter!!!! Love, Mikki

This is a beautiful write. It almost feels so delicate and peaceful that if one were to say something out loud one would disturb the beauty. Enjoyed. :)
