Winter’s whispers

Tango dancing, sol and earth, opt to lengthen
orbits around which they twirl, separation,
taste of death, as icy breeze blowing forewarns … 
   birds to fly southward.

Wasps and snakes, both hibernate, bats and snails too,
warning Mother Earth to draw closer to source,
before life as we know it thus breathes its last …
   lesson for mankind.

Days shorten, nights lengthen but do we not see
winter flowers joyously blooming, wafting
fragrance teasing, delighting both heart and soul …
   God within calls us.
