The Waiting

The Waiting

autumn

cool, crisp colors of crimson and gold

leaves, grasses, sky

change comes, leaves loose, trees bare all

flowers pale, shrivel,

limp against the cold wind

tall grasses shiver

fog, frost, freeze

hints of lost life, hope fades,breath expires

snow falls

winter

all hidden under cold blankets of white death

the mystery of harsh beauty

long silence, wait, suffer,

complain, watch, breathless

peaceful pain,

breathtaking, shiver

snow covers

perfect reminder, death prolongs

dare to dream

breeze touches the face

a warmer wind caresses

first revelation

change, hope renewed, eyes seek

newness, fresh anticipation

movement,uncover, pushing against death

power contained,potential unleashed

green growth, new life,

touch the sun

born again

spring
