Sparkle-shadows hem you in,
Marshmallow caps where growth has been;
Wait, my soul, be still, and pause,
Spring will bloom when Winter thaws.

Amazing description in the outstanding poetry. Thank you.
Thanks John! 🙂
what an encouragement in the middle of winter … when spring seems still so far away (here in WI anyway) thanks!!!!
Yes, it still is winter – but we know the promise of spring remains! I’m trying not to growl too much when I see a posting of daffodils blooming, when we are still many weeks away from our first blooms here… 🙂 A lesson in patient hope, yes?
Yes, waiting … not something I do well 😦
I love winter so, I’m not bothered by the pause the earth requires ~ beautiful poetry !
Our lives need the pause that nature builds in – night, seasons, overcast days – whether we are wise enough to take heed or not! Thanks for your encouragement…
I love “sparkle-shadows” especially–it’s like what you were talking about in some of mine, contrary words that “Work” for a perfect image. I can see it easily–and dare say my shadows do wear sparkles these days!
What a great thought! 🙂
Thank you for making the waiting sweeter!
The days are getting longer, the sun feels warmer – winter will soon be a memory! ;D
This is beautiful and filled with hope.
I’m so glad you can see the hope – it seems to be an important theme to me in the past few weeks. Thanks for dropping by!
