The Cold Is Now a Distant Memory

The cold is now a distant memory As snowfall comes the heaviest in years With drifts now formed of northern wind that blows For all I see is covered, it appears Pure white the only color now that shows The chill inside my body steady grows I can’t believe this morning that I chose I shiver as I’m trudging through the gate My hands and feet are frozen to the core When will this frigid weather soon abate Not sure I can withstand this anymore Have never seen such weather, this before I wonder what the future has in store When suddenly such beauty comes my way Of every dream my mind might hope to see Her face as if a heavenly display My eyes, behold, the warmest artistry True love this day is standing next to me The cold is now a distant memory My heart hath found this morning ever grand An angel born this winter wonderland

Oh, I can see her so clearly standing in the wondrous landscape you describe, Chris. Love can make us feel warm inside, even on the most bitter of days. Such a lovely sonnet! A fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn for stopping by to read and leaving such a nice comment for me. This is my first attempt at a sonnet and it wasn't easy for me. I am thrilled you liked it.

I agree w/Lisa ... beautiful dreamy romantic poetry at its best, Chris. You are a true light bearer of romantic poetry. Keep up the joyous ink strokes of love radiance. Splendid sonnet, my dear friend. Love and more love always.

Btw ... in regard to your thoughtful comments on my poem today, I'm a fierce opponent of those who choose war to promote their spurious motives. Just so you know ... Love and peace always.

Thanks so much Lisa. It is my first attempt I think at writing a sonnet and for this contest they wanted an Urban Sonnet which I found much more difficult.
