I long to sleep until the leaves have gone
taking all the memories of summer love,
and dream until the winter’s dawn.
When the cloak of autumn is soon drawn;
when evening stars dance in the sky above,
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone.
Wind still sings in the Forest of Argonne,
I hear the song of my truelove
and dream until the winter’s dawn.
September dreams are like a swan
who flies entwined with her beloved,
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone.
Seasons stretch as nature yawns,
I hear the calling of spring doves
and dream until the winter dawns.
The memory of summer past is long
and autumn chill will soon unglove~
I long to sleep until the leaves have gone
and dream until the winter’s dawn.
A winter storm is wild and free.
I stand in its eye and wonder...
There's even shades of Ivory!
Winter's crisp, pure, white, wet, breezy.
Its elements make me ponder...
A winter storm is wild and free.
The clock ticks on, no stopping, see.
Of memories, one grows fonder.
There's even shades of Ivory!
Glittering scenes of land and sea
In the wake of the storms wander.
A winter storm is wild and free.
In balance, wreckage and beauty.
Sometimes all but hope goes under:
There's even shades of Ivory!
So what potential do we see?
Will storms tear our lives asunder?
A winter storm is wild and free.
There's even shades of Ivory!
Welcome October you are the best.
So glad to see you before winter,
You took a twelve month rest.
Singing birds are in their nest.
Flowers blooming no more bright colors,
Welcome October you are the best.
October is from the east to the west.
We have both hibernated way too long,
You took a twelve month rest.
I see the sun coming up off the crest,
Beautiful colors to start the day.
Welcome October you are the best.
We are truly blessed,
Even if the clouds are gray.
Please be our guest.
We have missed you,
Glad you are back.
Welcome October you are the best,
You took a twelve month rest.
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Like the wind, whose story God wrote
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Joy stirs the music, the songs who know
He restores souls with His gentle note
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Softly caressing winds, swirl and blow
Listening to the poetry hearts can quote
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Rustle of leaves, swooshing to and fro
Grace that God’s word shall promote
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Winter drifts in with blessings of snow
Reflections arising from God’s lifeboat
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Gentle kiss of peace, to the Savior I owe
To Him, my life and love I’ll ever devote
Soundless words, pierce, then flow
Restless dreams whisper their glow
Oh, that I would have had more time,
For there were things that I would say,
But you were struck down in your prime.
For Death engaged in favored crime,
And snatched you off the beaten way;
Oh, that I would have had more time.
It seems his preferred paradigm.
Perhaps, with warning, held at bay,
But you were struck down in your prime.
He, like a thief with skills sublime,
There in plain sight, in light of day;
Oh, that I would have had more time.
My soul, encased in winter clime,
In tattered sorrows, downcast, gray,
But you were struck down in your prime.
Through jagged peaks, I'd eager climb
To meet but for the briefest stay.
Oh, that I would have had more time,
But you were struck down in your prime.
In winter deep, my daily Wordle
accords five-letter words new life
and brings a smile, if not a chortle.
So, with a smile, if not a chortle
a brief respite from worldly strife
a sojourn at etomology’s portal.
For at this age, I know I’m mortal
and life with obstacles is rife
but will five letters be my sortal?
Yet is my questing truly moral
if I resort to Rhyme Zone’s knife
shall my last gasp be ever glottal?
For if a smile if not a chortle
graces visage of kin and wife
tis my verbiage near immortal?
In winter deep, my daily Wordle
provides a momentary relief
in five letters, my daily Wordle
can bring a smile, if not a chortle.
Welcome May you are the best
So glad to see you after winter
You took a twelve month rest
Singing birds are in their nest
Flowers blooming bright colors
Welcome May you are the best
May is from the east to the west
We have both hibernated way too long
You took a twelve month rest
I see the sun coming up off the crest
Beautiful colors to start the day
Welcome May you are the best
We have missed you
Glad you are back
Welcome May you are the best You took a twelve month rest

When spring is like the dawning sun
through frosted panes anticipate
the morning after winter's done.
In vernal womb where life's begun
the anxious babes of summer wait
when spring is like the dawning sun.
Another lace of frost is spun,
the doily art, so brief, abates
the morning after winter's done.
So weary of cold winter fun
and melting paths of ski and skate
when spring is like the dawning sun.
Then off to blossom's orchards run
to challenge life while tempting fate!
The morning after winter's done.
We sip rewards, a race now won -
a yellow hug of warmth awaits,
when spring is like the dawning sun
the morning after winter's done.
I've never heard the sound of snow
nor dawning's oboes crooning light,
yet witnessed angels' trumpets blow
and chimings of the flurries grow
as alabastrine wings take flight.
I've never heard the sound of snow
when cello strings caress the bow
of morning at its burnished height,
yet witnessed angels' trumpets blow
a salmon cirrus cameo,
diaphanous and opalite.
I've never heard the sound of snow,
piano in the afterglow
of sunshine's brittle fahrenheit,
yet witnessed angels' trumpets blow
ebullient through the chorals' flow
across the operatic white.
I've never heard the sound of snow,
yet witnessed angels' trumpets blow.
Valentine's day instills romance
amenable to the heart's call
enticing love to take a chance.
February finds time to dance
as winter temperatures fall
Valentine's day instills romance.
Happy hearts slip into a trance
that encompasses one and all
enticing love to take a chance.
Dances get prepared in advance
for when winter slows to a crawl
Valentine's day instills romance.
Sharing a reassuring glance,
she wears innocence like a shawl
enticing love to take a chance.
When hearts link up by circumstance,
they don't defer to protocol.
Valentine's day instills romance,
enticing love to take a chance.
