Winter Winds

Winter was given us that we may stay close to our hearts
and listen with more than our ears, as the bells of our life ring
Neither distance nor strife can ever keep our souls apart.
Our names are carried on the wild winds that winters bring
Remember and remember, for the winter dove still sings..



For all those who can't be with loved ones 
for the holidays ahead

Very introspective feel, I like the quiet way it seems to blow wind and the end of the dove is terrific, great tribute:)

Yes, we keep our loved ones in our hearts as the harsh weather rages outside. Ironic, isn't it, fellow LNC? Companionship seems most needed during those months we are forced to spend so much time indoors. Lovely poem and a heartfelt dedication at the end. Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving, my friend. Love, Carolyn
