Hey, pause for a while …Behold!
Not far, the winter treadsthe leaves are shed like a carpet laid
Soon the earth, the sky will be just white and gray
… she rules
as far as you can seeThe denizens reach out skywardsto catch the warmth
of the ever elusive sun
to nourish their frozen saps
As the sun shines past the clouds
they say … let us thaw a little …
and they reach out
to savour
the rare pleasures of touch
… the touch of warmth
