Winter

.

.

Bright winter light is dim

.

Small tasks become hard work

.

And memories paid in effort grim

.

Dare long for the  heat of sweaty July

.

That turgid lethargy thick movement

.

Blessed cooling rain a wish

. 

Then too wish now winter’s test

.

Endure and endure

 .

To survive is to be yet blest

.

Too bold or hopeless plan

.

Think of Spring and growth

.

All winter tending care 

.

Spring’s fragile yearning germ

.

Remember heavy September indigo

.

And golden October sky

.

When this ancient no color cold

.

Was only anticipated Winter Rest
