been a-while 

spring abridged;winter night 

each layer of snow colder n' heavier

earth lay frozen and I frostbitten 

icicles of gloom 

lining my chest,eerie chill creeping

heart benumbed;slowly melting 

basking in apricity,duly warmed up 

awaiting spring 

anew

Cranreuch &#8212; Scottish for hoarfrost, tis a lovely sight, but associated with cold. Shakespeare was right &#8212;

Winter

When icicles hang by the wall, 
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipt and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu who,
Tu whit, tu who,
A merry note while greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all around the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow, 
And Marian's nose looks red and raw;
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl, 
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu who,
Tu whit, tu who,
A merry note while greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

The ancient wisdom of the seed. No Winter is eternal. The icy cold carries in its heart the promise of Spring. Thank you for sharing your words :)
