Magpie Tales 204...What Lies Beneath


 The Mill, 1964, Andrew Wyeth


Deep in bitter chill
Winter buries memories
in silent white drifts

Spring quietly dreams
of melting Winter's cold heart
with sunshine and warmth

This week's prompt from Magpie Tales.  After weeks of icy, cold fog and endless gray, the other day I spotted daffodil buds just breaking ground.  The seasons change, no matter what else happens in our lives...

  2. Had me smiling - such reassuring words! Well, the daffodils in my window boxes are peeking through at last. Our winter has been more wet and windy than snow packed.
