Winterswind Renku Tribute Part1

PART 1 of quaternion

austere
        confused
                in disarray
desolate
          by a crisp wind
          &chill rain
which
ravage 
    the fields
 &mountainside
                          as
tranquillity
      leaves
             the scene
&
leisure arrives
       in silence & splendour
to the
        enlightened

an aspect of grace
reluctant
       to leave
an eccentric pastime
remains&
             fluctuates

rearrange the garden
by pass
        the time
a necessary task
of the season
duty bound
a routine awaited
by
    the stricken 
         en pause
so to say

what to do
anguished
challenged
         to divisive actions
in the clear
            chilly dawn
braving   
      the elements
      at daybreak
unconventional
         yet composed
day-by-day
contemplating
         the desolate scene
a reminder
    of life 
        awaiting
the fresh vigour
                       of spring
