Almost WinterA Poem by Kathy Van KurinHow does the approach of winter speak to your life?Almost
winter Almost
winter coldness beckons. Winter extends her hand, Pent-up
Wails will be subdued no longer for it is coming, the blast of fury Frosty
winds will twirl to the dawn. Above
cloud banks accumulate. But
for now moments of placated calmness pass in submission. Sparkling
sweet memories remain. We walked the sands glory. We
were embraced by a crown of glittering cerulean ocean waves. Our
toes felt the beach’s embrace with each warm grain of sand. Spring
was our love. Tulips and budding flowers had their way. Only
for awhile: Were we lulled to sleep within the dream? Even
autumn was gentle. Her multi amber tear drops fell in gradual chill. Nights
grew cold, Mornings too. My garden tomato leaves curling. Make
ready. Prepare. Nothing stays the same. Rise
and fall of winds swell between rain showers: Are we listening? The
seasons, always changing, moments of unbelievable beauty, dazzle. Our
souls hold each imprint of yesterday. Time
and again like a short visit to a holiday location A
place of true belonging we never wanted to leave. It
feels like a forever song pulling the heart. Clues
within brief wonders tell of true home. Is
Heaven speaking somehow? What
does this life long for, this heart feel? There
is a stirring within every nuance of nature’s charm. Lord
God Almighty I am listening! © 2023 Kathy Van KurinFeatured Review
