Turn Of Leaf

Winter with thoughtful wings slips upon When her voice is too frail to hold life— Everywhere green, this light she's from; In gentleness back the forest bites, As feathery flakes shed through all with white. Though sun beams on frost's admirable silk At this true angle on my window sill, While the glass in me seems to be dying— When dead leaves lose their beauty's will, Toned blossoms, out of Winter's ghost, spring.

Dear Paige, your poem beautifully captures the transition from winter to spring, the delicate dance of nature's renewal. I loved your imagery of winter's gentleness and the eventual blossoming of spring evoke a profound sense of transformation and hope. It's wonderful to see the cyclical nature of life and the resilience inherent in every season. - Blessings, Daniel
