Winter Calls
As winter creeps within
It whispers to her, sleep
at last perchance to dream
of Spring when sap ran high
and limbs did not break or bend
but rather held true and strong
against the wanton wind.

An aging poem. Well captured. Helps us remember the youth in those who before us appear old.

I like the dreaming of spring in winter when one could hold up better against the wind.
