February entwines

with its beauty,

wrapping around

like an elusive gift,

as pulsating breath

draws in energy,

 

treasured sharpness

of cutting winter

saves me from sun's

garish – intense gaze,

 

this icy raw cold

brushes cheeks,

cooling spirit a

welcoming boost,

 

spurring me on as

last rays fade behind

wisps of clouds in a

palette of blue and pink,

 

inner heat will not escape,

wrapped up warm this

woolly hatted crown,

as these pavements

I tread with ease,

 

passing homely dwellings,

sometimes wondering of

their occupants! There are

gardens with high hedges,

weaving hidden magic

from view...secrets kept

safely tucked away,

 

then...as days go marching on

storms may empty their tears,

searching to create havoc;

but here again another day

I'll walk cloaked in warmth,

dancing breezes once more

calling out to me.

Beautiful, Jenny! Ah, to be safe and at peace, even if fleeting, is to be enjoyed and taken advantage of.

Thanks Rhiannon,

at this time I'm loving walking out the door and feeling alive. This weather is so refreshing and leaves me with that get up and go sensation. I think we've been so lucky with winter so far, I even saw a bee while I was out, now that is unusual for this time of the year.

Appreciate you stopping by and thank you again for reading and your thoughts.

Jenny.

I like the 'sharpness of winter', am fond of it too. And the 'intense gaze' of the sun. And storms - very apt at the moment too as I can hear the wind howling outside! :)

Hi onemorething,

I know what you mean about the wind and rain howling outside, it makes being indoors feel so cozy on a Sunday, just glad I don't have to go out.

It's good to know you can identify with what I'm writing. I remember you saying last summer that it felt like the sun was on steroids, that kind of stuck in my mind. smiley

Anyway I'm grateful to you for reading and letting me know.

Many thanks.

Jenny.

Ah yes, well, we are both much keener on Autumn and Winter than sweltering in an airless Summer, I

seem to recall. I am love the storminess, but as you say, only from the comfort and safety of home. :)
