Winter's First Breath

Crisp beauty of winter's first breath
filters setting free
crystal pierced emotion,
grab hold of me

Clouds held out inhibitions
night frosts left behind functionality
dainty the flowers,
lost in misery

Blankets soothe the sleeping
the canvas becomes pristine
images erupt euphoria,
as far as eyes can see

We in Massachussettes just started burning wood after our first frost. The imagery in this poem describes the flowers and frosts perfectly. Kelli

Your beautiful poem relates so well the emotional contrasts of winter. It is both beautiful but difficult to be in Tim : )
