Poetry Solace: Of nature - winter

From No One Can Stem the Tide by Jane Tyson Clement.. a poem about winter..

(61) Winter

The dark emerging trees 
from the new-winter wood 
are lovelier than leaves, 
as cold is also good.

The heart’s necessities 
include the interlude 
of frost-constricted peace 
on which the sun can brood.

The strong and caustic air 
that strikes us to the bone 
blows till we see again 
the weathered shape of home.

No season of the soul 
strips clear the face of God 
save cold and frozen wind 
upon the frozen sod.


Have a great weekend! Be safe but enjoy! :)
