Fighting Chilblains

Come now, you days so dreary,
with thoughts mundane and weary.
Both windy rain and bitter cold,
find comfort in blains and days of old.

To sit and sigh and wonder why
this if and when the eyes are dry
and the coals no longer lit are pale
in the wake of stormy frozen gale.

Until the frost is no longer on the glass
neither inside, outside in stormy blast.
And the Spring thaw comes in strident strain
to greet us with warmth and smiles again.

It lays a comfort blanket on us in haste as
we smile inside ourselves...what a waste!!!
While sitting we muse upon our fate....
Glad it rests not in the hands of a potentate

My thought for tonight, anno dominie Jan 23, 2019

A poem many of us can relate to as I dont like being cold Charles. I adore spring and love the 'comfort blanket line. I'm so thankful the cold wintry days are gone and we finally have some warm sunshine:-) hugs Jan xx
