Winter Dream

Submitted by Lorel

After winter, love, we’ll rise and greet the day --

We’ll pull up socks and put on boots

And see the work as play.

After winter, love, the ground will open wide –

Receive the plow, accept the seed,

It’s mystery still inside.

After winter, love, the birds will sing so free!

Their days intent with brood and nest –

Love’s choir for you and me.

After winter, love, the moon will bless our night.

We’ll lie and dream together

Worn out by sheer delight.

But now it’s winter, love.

I pray that when’s it’s through

I’ll find that we are young once more

And I’m again with you.
