                                                    Winter's Solace

                                                 Among bare hills
                                                 in winter winds
                                                 or by frigid waters
                                                 in deserted lakes,
                                                 I find a solace 
                                                 warm spring glades                                                                                                can never bring.                                                                                                       Rejoicing in a dazzle
                                                 of new blossoms in
                                                 the green glory of
                                                 emerging leaves is
                                                 only a fleeting moment
                                                 of nature's kindness.
                                                  .

                                                 No, my true st grace
                                                 isn't found in long,
                                                 easy breezes but 
                                                 in January's howling 
                                                 wrath as I battle her                                                                                                icy onslaught each
                                                 darkening day with
                                                 all my courage,
                                                 leaving little patience
                                                 for senseless sorrows.

Well Conan, I've often heard it said, "Don't sweat the small stuff", but never quite this passionately. I like it. Patrick

Always so sad when mankind finds it difficult to reach out to another offering hope and kindness...

Be always safe,
Karen

Perhaps depression is a disease of the idle. I can relate to this a lot.

A recumbent nature adorning itself.
Not confined or limited (untrammeled) kindness is something that is woefully lacking in this ego-centric society. An effective analogy Bennett - winter storms and our own mental and emotional and spiritual challenges. Yes! Your gift shines here!
