midwinter holds a sapphire clarity,
a brightness rising where the cold thins,
as if destiny were forming itself
in the quiet geometry of light.
you carry a small crown of joy~
not gold, not ceremonial~
just a precise glint of future
resting in your hands

my home in winter
warm and bright in ruby red
gardens to wander
but regret as I reflect
in the mirrors of my past

winter
When winter blows a chill and freezing breeze.
Stripping the blushes from the autumn rose.
A flower awaits in silence and pleads.
Now cold and encased in white icy woes.
Her gentle petals dressed in softest hue;
Held tight within a harsh crystalline grasp.
Perfect jewel twinkling with morning dew.
A love that the season cannot unmask.
She waits patiently for spring to appear.
Cold on the outside but alive within.
Listening to each song she longs to hear.
Content to bloom her fragrant life again.
My love waits faithfully for Spring to show.
Frigidly wrapped up in winter's white glow.
Seasons come and season go
With regularity there's ebb and flow
In tropical climes it's most about how much sunlight passes by
Summers steamy with lots of rain, so called winter time is dry
For six months now we've acclimatised, each morning, temps of twenty three degrees
It's late autumn, morning temp suddenly, seventeen, don a jumper feels like were gonna freeze
So called winter, a few real cold mornings temp is down to five, we're in a fix
We groan a bit, but soon it's warm, temp's now raised to twenty six
Raised in heavy frost wind and sometimes snow
So sensitive now to cold I wont return temp's too often way too low
As the darkness grows
It grows the leaves,
Up the tree in rows...
The wind, it helps, it weaves
Imagine the people's eyes
When the first thing they see,
In the morning, after winter dies
The new green leaves that be!
The frost still clings to hollows deep,
Where shadows stretch in iron gray,
Yet waking from a frozen sleep,
The world begins to turn away.
A single blade of emerald light
Pierces the crust of hardened snow,
Brave herald of the coming bright,
Where hidden, rushing waters flow.
The winter’s veil is wearing thin,
A tattered shroud of mist and sigh,
As golden warmth begins to win
And paint the edges of the sky.
Each shivering branch and rooted stem
Prepares to shed its coat of white,
To wear the dew—a budding gem—
And step into the morning light.
The snow falls quickly
Zag zag to the ground
Dancing in in the sky
Coving the ground
The winter season
Has been long this year
Lots of freezing rain
I yearn for Spring
The change winds blow,
Goodbye, brightest snow.
Hello, warmer days,
Crisp mornings and sun rays.
Seems an Ice Age past
Since we saw each other last.
And did you bring anything
'Cept this urge to sing?
You were never good
At wrapping gifts,
As you knew it would;
It makes my spirits lift.
Tied in ribbon, bound with string,
I can already tell,
With cheering bell,
It's spring.
Winter Comes to Japan (Kyoka)
Aki’s “Koharu
Biyori” is overwhelmed
by Fuyu Shogun’s
mofubuki, but Japan
enjoys the hatsuyuki.

Mofubuki: fierce snowstorm
Hatsuyuki: first snow of the season
Across the snow covered country land,
a rural scene with mountains and a barn stands
The valley holds the frozen river below,
and silence surrounds where I stand with what I know
Winter scenes bring impeccable beauty with peace
Like no other season I encounter in my fleece
All is still, like a lasting snapshot to keep,
in my memory during times that I may weep
But, answers to questions are frozen, alright for now
Because one day they will melt, exposing everything somehow

In a cool winter day
as the season begins to warm
trees are covered in a coat of white
decorated by hoarfrost
transforming it
to a beautiful winter land
as the wind gently blows
through the branches
with each puff it cascades
settling on the ground below
soon the trees become barren
the coats gently removed
only to be redecorated
on another day in winter's season.
My house sits as I have left it squirrels nesting and gutter
As Winter’s hush drifts down in silvery light
and frosted breath lifts up in frigid air,
the day surrenders early to the night.
The distant silhouettes of tree limbs bare
cast eerie reveries that don’t belong,
their frozen shadows linger everywhere.
I shiver at the thought of night so long
without the April dreams that keep me warm;
I long to hear the notes of Spring’s sweet song.
God give me strength to weather Winter’s storm
and spread some warmth within this frigid womb,
while waiting for this season to transform,
and once again enjoy the Springtime bloom
as jasmine fills the air with sweet perfume.
