Without rhyme or reason, your image I thought <br />in hiding appears, beguiling me, <br />solely unsought, <br />and when It's white-warm, <br />ether-filled persistence, boldly takes hold. <br />I am momentarily distraught. <br /> <br />Short bursts of memory waft through the air, <br />soundlessly, recollection follows me <br />everywhere, as longing begins <br />all over again, and eats it's way deeply within. <br />Ghostly lovelight timelessly fills my mind, <br />as winter starts singing, and as soon as I hear <br />yesterdays' verses, I sigh, <br />as they always taunt me the most. <br /> <br />I cannot, even with constant trying, <br />erase you from my soul, <br />therefore I transcribe this greeting. <br /> <br />May your dreams too, my dearest friend, <br />be suddenly invaded, <br />Up-lit for a while at memory's end, <br />let them repeat my name to your unwary heart. <br />Then perhaps you too may find <br />winter will sing, <br />and, with sentiment revitalized love may restart <br />and follow it closely behind.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-will-sing/
