Hope

By Mike Hall, December 27, 2016

These leaves are forgotten now…laid to rest eight weeks ago. Blue sky replaced by gray. The branches shiver now as winter rules the day. Nights are unforgiving. Blizzards terrifying. Will I ever regain that splendor of old?

Thank you, spring. Thank you a thousand times more.

You save me from the cold…the harsh misconception that I would shiver for eternity.

In you, hope is reborn and I am new again.
