One Glimpse

Bare, bony fingers probe nature’s naked cupboard Nary a morsel seen nutrition confined to dreams December winds howl o’er barren ground January storms muffle all sound February thaws gurgle whispers of hope Crushed by March, snowdrifts abound Bears in hibernation, birds down south We humans alone, down in the mouth … One glimpse of Robin redbreast ~ no longer depressed

You taking us through the climatic stages was fun to read but the ending was great for seeing such a beautiful Bird just lifts your spirits up and brings you into that state of mind that gives you hope for beautiful weather. Thanks for sharing this uplifting Poetry Gershon looking forward to seeing this lovely bird. God bless you...
