The Winter's Sun

 

What a morning and with such light

as if I had torn up an old canvass

and chosen the brightest and lightest

of paints, to begin afresh and create anew

 

These few wintry days of radiant blue skies

with a frost underfoot and a brisk feel in the air.

The frosted grass glistens in the sun 

as the trees stretch their branches in

anticipation

 

This day is a gift of immense power and beauty

one which banishes the darkness of winter

and breathes a new air into our daunted souls

O happy day! We are not forgotten or abandoned

but renewed and strengthened

as Spring waits around the corner 

with the hope of resurrection
