Breathing spring

For those who have suffered at the hand of winter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter died screaming,

gripping its bed in madness;

cold, mocking, scornful

raging as it ripped the sheets of spring…

 

Now soft prayers of lilies

mourn its bitter passing

with a fragrance of anise and jasmine,

as gentle breezes dance in daylight…

She stands at winter’s grave

with indigo forget-me-nots;

a smile dancing there, breathing spring,

feeling softer slumbers lull her eyes.

I really like this poem! The 2nd stanza's my favourite :)
The imagery of the poem is awesome and the hopeful last stanza brings me inspiration. Well done :D

Where do you get your inspiration to write and create such beautiful imagery? You touch the deepest part of the human spirit, so gentle and soft when you do it and it's really refreshing once it' over.

Awesome! Love the image of harsh winter being replaced by a softer and kinder spring. Perhaps she can slumber now that the battle of winter is ending.

Winter does not want to go peacefully into the night .. but Spring will have her way.. love your poem and the picture is so whimsical .. like days gone by when people sat and talked over tea or coffee and wrote letters on pretty stationery , scented .. perhaps with the smell of Spring-
