WINTER WHISPERS
The laugh lines of autumn
Begin to crack
These winter Morning scents
Sprout about and back..

The bald grass shivers
From the morning dew..
The morning rose wakes up
In its own lazy hue...

The local crow too has a sore throat
The flirty sun just seems to float
The fresh baked bun
The ever cheerful nun

I stay warm and smug
In my own vapour
The gigly hen decides
To do its own caper

I yearn to snuggle back
In dreams again
Live my unreal life
Crazy and insane...

This westerly has a cheesy charm
This cold has a soothing balm
Buried deep in tea sniffs
Remember and forget Lover's tiffs

Happy and sad
This winter like none before
Armed with content
Less is more

I wear layers of hope
In my heart again
Smile through the winter chill
& embrace the pain..
