Endless Season

As all the leaves fell from limbs,

baring each branch left weak and exposed.

Winter brought such cutting cold winds

and we no longer see the green that's reposed..

 

These leaves will stay dormant,  hiding till spring

But this year will be without life's vital season,

forgoing all the renewal and new life it could bring

This relentless winter being the reason.

 

Weary this life so yearns for the Sun

decrepit and longing for a sign of warm light

But feeling now those bright days may be done

and there's no spring or summer in sight.

I love this Steve, and YES it sure felt like an ENDLESS WINTER here too! Yuk! I can so relate to this it's not even funny. :) Like Vince said, "Bring on the Summer!" I couldn't agree more. Reminds me of that old song, "Here comes the sun." hehe Hopefully we are in for some pretty spring days once the rain gets past. Wonderful write and congrats on your feature this week! :) Love, Amy

It is thundering and raining in Kansas today a sign that spring may very well be on its way. The temperature is still quite cold and yes I agree it is getting quite old... LOL! Congratulations on a great write being featured. Many Smiles from Lolita

I can really relate ... we're haing snow flurries today in the Pacific NW ... LOL ... but those daffodils and crocuses just keep coming up anyway so there's still hope ... great write here, Steve and a nice choice by the Soup to be a feature this week. Congratulations!

I agree with Christie. Winter is not my season, but with all seasons, each holds it's on beauty. Very good write Steve

I shouldn't be reading this in 12 degree temps outside. Give me beaches and sunshine, the smell of tanning lotion. Have a great day, Steve. Vince
