Ode to Winter
the windows
frosted the sky the same color as the land covered with snow
still it comes down
lightly little birds look for seeds the world is quiet
bear sleeps in her
den dreaming bear dreams of spring
not a sound comes
from the valley the mountains have disappeared from view
i hold you from the
cold i hold you in my heart this marks another day
you are gone like
the mountains disappeared from view
the chores are
complete a time of rest and reflection
i think of you my
breath catches in my throat to think this is the second winter
it is
true you have joined all there is and all there is reminds me of
you
you will be here in my heart spring summer and fall winter too

Beautiful and poignant, Annell. Hard to believe this is the second winter. "You have joined all there is." I love that. Love your description of the landscape. I can picture it clearly and it is beautiful.
Quiet pantomimes are perhaps the best - reading each piece made me think we all 'act' in someway according to the circumstances we are experiencing...reminds me of adapt or die...our minds left unoccupied can turn pantomime into tragedy so to be absorbed in something purposeful can only be good xo
