New Leaves

The new leaves we saw unfurling
Are now colour changed and falling

Spirit once soothed in a soft breeze’s embrace
Now seethes, hurling ice shards in my face

New rose buds that were late to bloom
Stay with you, frozen, entombed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
