Cold Winter/Winter's Night
March 26th 2007 04:23
Cold steals in.....
as summer has his death throes.
While others mourn his passing,
and fear he will never return
I care not if the mother revives her lover,
I can stay in her arms for eternity.
Why is it cold has more....Space?
Summer's long afternoons
and lazy stretching spaces
are always curbed with shadow
uneasy long twilights,
night sneaks up like a cat.
In winter there is no such game -
Time is quick, breathless concise
morning defines itself against frosted air
while afternoon clicks lovingly over,
and night, well prepared for,
is met as a friend.
With warm cracking fire,
family gathered near
The nights are especially silent.
There is a sense of curfew,
when it is in Winter's Night,
that great palaces appear,
Richly decked out in winter's adornments,
Frosted patterns of ornamental beauty,
all caught between this, or that,
such ordinary things,
That fill up with winter's treasures,
when she tinkles her rings,
so, I do not cry at the Sun Gods death,
rather laugh him to his bed,(well, he was a partygoer!)
He knew his life was at her whim
And at her will....
So, thus, no injustice is done,
and winter falls again
so celebrate cold winter,
her spaces are filled with faeries once again.....

I will never view Winter quite the same way; you've frosted it with such a unique and wonderful spin!
I admire the way you tinker with time here... your choice of words is superb... every single blessed one!
There is a sense of time speeding up as spring works her way in, a feeling of obligation to go outside and do "something", whereas Winter gives us permission to stay inside.
I absolutely love this... I think it's my favorite of yours so far.
Nicely done!!!

Wendi,
No surprise you loved it, but I am surprised at how much! Its funny, cos I had this one on the brain for days, and when I finally sat and wrote it, it wasnt anything like I wanted, different imagery, but it was still...Special.
