Distant hills cloaked in snow

Icing on the climb for those who seek the summit.

 

Elongated cloud patterns 

Openings for the universe beyond to remind us of its being.

 

Bud formations swelling 

Preparing to burst into life and colour the passing of winter.

 

Empty fields awaiting

New birth to old stock due soon.

 

Calm waters pulsing

The gentle hands of a masseur over troubled shores.

 

Spirits refreshing

While physical being is resting and reviving.

 

Minds clearing

Cleansing the dross, shaking the clinker, setting a new fire.

 

Hope rekindling

Springing into being with anticipation of what can be.
