Winter's Snare
by David Lee Thompson → (All Poetry by David Lee Thompson)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

There is an unclimbable barrier between age and missed opportunities.

Spring
will soon be
in our midst.

But I…
forever shall I be
trapped in winter—
contemplative of
what would have been,
could have been,
or even should have been.

You remind us simply yet forcefully that we have to live in the present if we are to enjoy the sunshine of life. Very well put.

such a resonant haunted piece. .. .
seasons change as will [hopefully] peaces of minds. .. .
adore the swift pointed succinctness of this....
and teh contrast of hope vs despair in the green or grey of seasonry.. .

...your words will always resound...and though the snare of winter's percussion...may find a different drum for some...the beat of the heart will...with time...accept the seasons...because it knows no others.

very well penned thoughts David...
