Sweet Winter's Eyes

Please give me sweet winter’s eyes

Sight through barren limbs

Endless miles of variegated visions…

Summer limbs and leaves wall the world

Binding, blinding vines, restless noise

Yet winter speaks in hushed silence…

Let me grasp firm the hand

Of my dearest friend

And we shall let loose the grasp of

Anxiety

Fear

Sadness

The wayward poison that weaves

Doubts and pain…

And let our hearts find silence

Sweet music of winter stillness…

Grant us ever sweet winter’s eyes

So we may know our path of peace…

Author's Note

While wandering the woods, I noticed how much further I could see in the winter with the earth's barren branches... Wanting to see life with those eyes...

Beautiful artwork and amazing poetry. I like the places you took me in the words. The eye are the highways to the soul. I like the energy and the visions create by the description.

My dear poet, crisp and clear is the voice within that says ," I AM" under a blanket of quiet white truth. May the silence of winter be a voice of focused conscious peace...awareness speaks...the eye of the storm is you :)

Though winter is my least favorite of the seasons, I do love the beauty that comes alive in the bones of her sighs. Thank you, dear poet!

Winter does have a way of slowing life down ,so we notice those little uncovered treasures. Tis a pleasure Sir !
