spring began, stuttered
winter rushed back, hanging on
dumped a cold white gift
my hat! it’s heavy
my neck bends low, ground view
where did the sun go?
we wait, hope for warmth
wrap our coat-leaves tight, shiver
dreaming of sunbeams

upon reflection
holes dripping lost connection
my heart leaking love

Believe it or not, this was taken on February 19, 2022. No snow, ice, or signs of winter. But winter it is. This rock faces the late sun, so all evidence of the season has melted to rest at the base, along with showers of fallen rocks. It’s not a safe place to stay for long-snap the picture and move along down the road!
Taken before the next winter storm hits with a predicted 12-24 inches of new snow.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I hope your day is filled with the people you love (be they short or tall), sweet words, plenty of chocolate and pretty flowers, and blessings from the Lord.
XOXO
Love, Laughter, and Life
