    • Been very busy lately. Hope to get past some huge obstacles soon so that I can focus on some writing and spiritual renewal I desparately long for.

    The Coming Winds

     The Coming Winds


       The north wind came without opposition
    and held the earth in his sudden embrace
    He silenced the land with his icy stare
    entranced it ’neath his frosty gaze
    In crystal splendor all stood halt
    ‘cept the quiet deep that gently flows
    while the shallow waters froze

       The north wind spoke without opposition
    and held the earth in his blustery sway
    He stilled the land with his icy breath
    and veiled it ’neath his frosty haze
    In crystal splendor all fell halt
    ‘cept the quiet deep that gently flows
    while the shallow waters froze

       The south wind came without opposition
    and soothed the earth in his warm embrace
    He healed the land with his gentle touch
    and clothed her new in living colour
    In pristine wonder she shall sing
    with the quiet deep that gently flows.

    I hail from Missouri so I can relate. I am in 116 degrees right now and it made me shiver. Good job.

    You jumped onto some good metaphors and put them to profitable service. Most original word combos? All stood halt, all fell halt. Still waiting for the east wind and the west wind to blow.

    Thanks Harver. Maybe I'll be inspired to write about the east and west winds. But this one came to me intertwined with prophetic urgency as I pondered the cold depths and frozen shallows of winter. So, as I saw it all from varing angles, I wrote it in multi- dimensional expression. Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting. You're appreciation is uplifting and very encouraging. Thanks.
