_________________________________________________________________

So close to death in Winter's cold embrace Within a frozen dream I lie below A pristine eiderdown of fallen snow Where ice has formed in patterns of white lace That hold me now suspended in this place Until again I hear the water flow When dawn is broken by a Rooster's crow As your warm breath is felt upon my face When you dear Spring arrive on Angel's wings And melt this spell that Winter has on me Than I, your Mother Earth, will rise again Revitalized by all the love you bring To bloom in all the glory I can be A sea of blossoms drenched in heaven's rain Author: Elaine Cecelia George

Absolutely gorgeous, eloquent delivery of drama so well-written with flow that wrapped me in the poem's tale, and the sadness of a poetically accepted death -yi, how moving. I had a good time here! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
