Array ( [sid] => 119791 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Winter Rose [time] => 2006-05-10 03:04:19 [hometext] => Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked 2-questions, determining whether they could continue their journey. The 1st. question was, [bodytext] =>
Winter’s gale beats at my back drifting, blizzard, focus
Yet one kind word can warm winter months from locusts
Amidst the footless trail a bone structure hopeless
cruelly cold is the judgment of man, vainly useless

Emptiness sits on the dawn of a wintry somber smile
Facing the lonely dark of night is worse than guile
Thinking: love is for the lucky and youthful strong
The great sun had turned his face away all winter long

The earth, undressed, goes down into a vale of grief
All the Trees reach to me with barren sighs for relief
With Mother Earth leaving her garlands to decomposition~
Longing for her sun with returning kisses of omission

This cold trys to undress, and bed me, for Death's dream
Beneath the snow I lie 'A Seed,' to wake from Love's spring
Dying for the Son, melting into the wind, for life‘s stance
When the earth lays claim to my limbs~, then I shall dance

This is a fine piece of understanding and wisdom that when "earth lays claim" we can then dance to the Divine.
Yer on a roll of wonderful writes, Lilly-Quill. This one keeps 'em rollin'.

A wonderful rendition of a new awakening. Winters chill and all its coldness. Mesmerised I was in the words, and so beautifully written. Thank you . Sue x
