Quiescent

The quiescent oaks shiver in the cold
Their fugacious leaves blown away in the breeze
February will you bring me closer to spring bold
If anyway possible would you please

Now the susurration of winter's wind
So different from sighing of the pines
How I long for angular sun's warmth, my friend
For time in the sun, how I have pined

There's pale gray wool flung across the sky 
A cold white shawl draped upon the lawn
Before the sun rises to warm by and by
When sun illuminates the crack of dawn

Chilled daffodils tender shoots peek through the earth
Seeking the sun's early light and warm touch
Once more to refresh the bulbs' life with mirth
Invite early insects to tickle its trumpet and such

Victor Buhagiar Date: 2/2/2024 3:38:00 AM We see a lot of daffodils in November and they are supposed to be protected. Trust children to cut them off to sell them. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/13/2024 2:24:00 PM Victor, sad that children have to cut them probably to help their family be able to survive. Daffodils are beautiful and offer such hope of warmer weather especially here where I live. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
