Winter's Relief

Let winter come 
And freeze the sky 
No more will shadows cast  
Let showers turn to heaps of snow 
With gardens hidden deep 

Let working cease 
Migration fly  
Let herds to safety dash 
Farmers idle, fires glow 
No fields left to reap 

My picket fence
Blockaded high
No perfect cobbled path
Let winter come, and snowstorms blow   
I need some time to sleep

Like this one a lot. We've got 6 months of the winter out here in Calgary - I will tuck these images in my pocket when I brace the winds.

A lovely write on winter Kyle, You take the languid approach with resting as the reward. Could feel the effects of that sweet time.
