Resurrected

So close to death in Winter's cold embrace
Within a frozen dream I lie below
A pristine eiderdown of  fallen snow
Where ice has formed in patterns of white lace
That hold me  now suspended in this place
Until again I hear the water flow
When dawn is broken by a Rooster's crow
As your warm breath is felt upon my face

 
When you dear Spring arrive on Angel's wings
And melt this spell that Winter has on me 
Than I, your Mother Earth, will rise again
Revitalized by all the love you bring
To bloom in all the glory I can be
A sea of blossoms drenched in heaven's rain

CayCay Jennings Date: 4/4/2018 12:00:00 AM Absolutely gorgeous, eloquent delivery of drama so well-written with flow that wrapped me in the poem's tale, and the sadness of a poetically accepted death -yi, how moving. I had a good time here! Poetry hugs ... CayCay Login to Reply Elaine George Date: 4/13/2018 1:12:00 AM Thank you for stopping by and for your comments, CayCay...much appreciated. Elaine
