Notes About The Poem

We all hope for a white Christmas but once it's over we start yearning for warmer weather.         People are never really satisfied.

 

WINTER DREAMS

Christmas time has come and gone,
T'was all we hoped t'would be.
I sit here musing by the fire,
As the wind blows through the eaves.

I dream of lazy summer days,
And fields of wild flowers;
Babbling brooks and hidden nooks,
Taking shelter from the showers.

I dream of cool yet balmy nights,
Spent in the garden swing,
Listening to the night sounds,
And loving everything.

The fire flies that flit about,
In and out of foliage,
Moistened by the evening dew,
As they make their evening voyage.

I long for summer evenings,
But for now I'm satisfied,
To look out on snowy meadows,
And the pristine country side.

Each season has it's own glory, and so we never tire of one as the next is almost upon us - I don't if you have ever read 12 brothers bearing gifts. What they offer i simplicity recite as the receiver is the baby of a poor family. Hope you are keeping well my good friend. Just stressed for time my dear, thus my erratic silence periods. Hugs and kisses Jennifer.

I agree with this. Warm, balmy summers are a pleasure but sometimes they are too hot. Let's hope for some cool, summer breezes. Nice to read your poem

I was very happy to have a green Christmas. It was so much better for people travelling. It’s unusual not to have snow at Christmas here in Canada. You painted pretty pictures on my mind.

What beautiful musings Judy! A picture painted with the brush strokes of lovely images woven together with very creative, flowing rhymes! A beautiful celebration of all the magnificent seasons. Your poem reminds me of Genesis - God created the seasons and the festivals and time for all things of nature! Looking for more of your wonderful "musings" in 2024! Merry Christmas season and Happy New Year!

Oh my, so beautifully you've captured those evocative thoughts when our souls never quench their wishes and keep longing for different phases, never truly satisfied..But this poem reflects that sense of serenity and contentment in the end..Although, the heart here yearns for the warmth of summer, but it's still searching for lil moments of glee in the snowy ambience.How beautiful and impactful this write is, dear! I absolutely loved reading it and it's definitely a FAV for me, wow, sending light
