Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Light Stirs My Soul

Winter storm descends
   Blinding the world
Windswept, swirling
   Flakes in torrents hurling 
From a sullen, sinister sky
   
Somber silence in its wake
   Flowers in full bloom frozen
Leaves this morn fallen -- buried, unraked
   Night's icy fingers keep me awake

But morning's light stirs my soul
   Rays of sun butter my roll
Brighter, every warmer, now my thoughts
   With them, winter's battles to be fought...

Sandra Adams November 12, 2019 at 8:27 PM love the imagery in this one...i can see it, guess those weeds in the sidewalk cracks don't stand a chance now... we got a small taste of this today, not a fan, winter can forget to come and autumn can crawl back under its rock...i'll take spring and summer... :) hugs Gershon Wolf November 13, 2019 at 12:10 PM Crawl back under your rock, Autumn! You think that might work?! Maybe I should an imprecation or two? LOL. Thanks, Sandy! :) gw
