Beyond What’s Old

The crows fly low on a day such as this,
As the cold eats the air then blows it out as a mist.
Branches are naked their leaves now gone,
Leaving birds all huddled in a whimpering throng.

The stream tumbles over its icy bed
As autumn lays finished now burying its dead.
Winter strikes hard as its gavel strikes
And its wind blows through you at your bones to bite!

Short cold days with longer colder nights,
Inside we sit with the fires alight.
Roasting chestnuts with a glass of wine.
For all its faults winter can be a splendid time.

Spring, then summer now autumn fades
As the chill of winter invades our days
Snow-covered pastures, a scene to behold
New life to breathe beyond what’s old.

To smell the perfume of an unfurling rose.
To relive the moment when it was love you chose.
To know the sublime feeling of a summers night,
As you lay together until the breaking daylight.
