Languish

Nature seems to languish in winter Trees bare it all as snowflakes fall Bird fly south to warmer climes Yet all hope is not lost Spring will renew their Splendor and glow Birds will sing Dulcet Songs

Nature goes through many changes, indeed. Each season shares something special, in its on way, of course. I like when spring brings everything back to life. Your thoughts are beautiful, Joseph. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Languish indeed! Not that Im wishing my time away but I wish I could just skip the winter cold and move right on in to spring. Nicely penned.
