Notes About The Poem

Written on December 3, 2023

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Winter

Winter’s silent soul
Kisses away the darkness
With trembling flakes, snow feathers
Cardinals whisper
Blessing the breathless prayers
From hearts who feel love’s inklings

Soundless as snowdrifts
On the edge of a shadow
Caressing the mountains, the stars
Imaginations 
Lift the spirits with lights,
Dazzling rays of hopeful fires

Burning away nights
Hues of laughter, kindness sighs
Erasing the fears, the tears
Stirring memories
Moments who prick the spirit
Collecting joy, so gentle

Endless reflections
Melancholy bleeding through
Branding love onto the dream
Aching frosts, bitter
In graceful, glacial coolness
Amazing artic natures

Imagine loving,
Through the snow blanketed days
Rising to find what love means
Drifting on the stars
Enchanting hopes, glistening
Stardust winter tones, rustling

Winter subsides, soft,
As the mellow flurries, calm
Bearing the twilight season
March arrives soon, winds,
Blowing away the last gusts,
Inviting the spring’s new birth.

Ink Empress December 3, 2023 at 5:09 AM I should read more of your poems dear gina, they are so inspiring and so beautiful, and has a very artistic touch and way of painting imagery, which is so sophisticated and elegant, i especially love the lines “ Drifting on the stars Enchanting hopes, glistening Stardust winter tones, rustling” beyond magical! You make winter even sound so gorgeous, i am in awe. The flow too is so beautiful. Pleasure reading this, another fave for me
