Awaiting Spring
October 6, 2013
Come snow while the morn is of thy breath,
While the leaves blanket the ground.
They had never been afraid of death,
And so passed without a sound.
A ghostly silence hangs in the air.
Memory of days now gone;
Of youth and of a forgotten prayer.
Both never reaching the dawn.
Nothing hurts so much as the waiting.
No beauty but a cruel sting.
A child for mother is crying,
So it is I weep for spring.
When life runs anew in the valley,
As the birds burst forth in song,
All born again that ended sadly.
I pray it will not be long.
