Me In Three

Once there wasn't any fog Nor wintery cold I was young, healthy and bold God blessed me with strength untold I worked hard, reared young And survived the cold unsung Then Just a glimmer of a glimpse In a mirror While walking Inside a store An old, bent, wrinkled woman That is when A solid, thick foggy shawl Began to lift More and more hoary frost Revealed__ At that moment I knew Winter's breath, finally blew

Dear Sara, I love the structure, how the past is remembered as clear, warm, and bold, contrasting with the sudden, almost shocking clarity of the present. It beautifully captures the quiet dignity of having lived fully ("reared young / And survived the cold unsung") before finally accepting the arrival of winter's final, honest breath. A Fav! Autumn Blessings, Dear Sara, Daniel

Sara, The interconnection between the three stanzas and your deployment of poetic winter words to chart a journey is the height of brilliant poetry. Many thanks for your recent visit to my page Howard .

All of us can relate to such a past. Now winter chill is slowly getting into our marrow. Inevitable changes take place in our life as from spring to winter we pass. Great poem Sara.
