Winter's Way

Winter's Way



Snow swirls and settles softly, down.
Frozen ponds and pine trees are painted white.
Winter wind whirls, swirls and twirls
in circles, up and down, in and out.
Drifting snow piles high here and there.
Snow birds flitter, flutter and forage, 
then, hurry to their roosts to nestle.
Bright moon shines and the ice reflects
it's beams between snowflakes and flurries.
December's icy blanket covers field and hills.
Blustery nights turn into biting cold days.
Frosted roads crunch beneath sleighs
led by huffing, puffing mares. 
Mufflers, mittens or gloves cover frigid hands.
Earmuffs, overcoats, and scarves stave off shivers.
Snowbound sledders find space 
to steer down slippery slopes.
Firewood crackles in the fireplace.
Snuggled beneath fleece throws,
we counter polar storms and
ice-kissed frigid gales.
Jack Frost's season overwhelms 
and overblows with solstice ice-flowers.

Life Without Color

Someone asked, "What would your life be without color?"  I answered,  "My life would be pallid and pale without color.  Each day would be drab, dreary and dismal.  There'd be no primary colors, no rainbows,  no yellow sunshine, no red-blue-yellow sunsets  and no white clouds. No white snow or black storm clouds.  I'd walk in an indistinct and neutral existence.  No green  trees, no green  grass, no blue seas, no blue skies,  would leave me cheerless and dry. My face would not turn red  with anger or embarrassment. My face would not turn white  with fear or pain. I'd not grow green with envy.  Nothing would be just black and white.  My life would be full of motionless emotion,  if there were no color. © 2013 ajwrites57 Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/fwDYZp Image URI:  http://mrg.bz/g6haeq By  Hairysuncold Please find my other writings on Hub...

old friends

old friends searched online for former friends surprised to see untimely ends friends, their spouses, moms and dads sad to see the deaths they had the inexorable tick and tock of time, leads us all to fields, sublime through twisting, turning hands of fate, soon we'll all be known as "late" years roll on, time is passed no one knows how long it lasts each life is counted out by days as friends we oft go separate ways friend's faces show the lines of age as each one turns his separate page fools fleeting time waits for no man eighty years our lives may span so count your days with special care for who knows how, who knows where our beating hearts will one day stop find old friends before they drop © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image adapted:  By SDRandCo via morguefile.com
