NO LAUGHTER LINGERS IN THE WIND
No summer scents are carried by
the caravans of frosted wind
no man nor beast disturbs the land
as night reclaims the day.
.
No running sap in trunk or bough
in winters sombre recesses
no bird recites recurring staves
on tracks in ancient lands.
.
No dreams of green materialise
to break the trance of winters hold
on shores that knew the ruffled wave
before the first ship sailed.

This is a fine first read of the day Michael. Must save to read again and again.

Wonderful words Michael.
As for the art work it is stunning, I just sighed when I saw it, it is so meaningful - I love it.
Thank you for sharing it.

Thanks Andy
Yes, lovely write and pic M. I was on a country walk - trees were bare. Then it occurred to me - of course they are, it's Winter. Doh! Though relatively mild day.
How's that itching? Does Miss Berles suffer from it too, or has she got fleas?
Itching quelled with mild weather. Miss Bewrles is taking poetry lessons from her niece, Scrib Berles.
What descriptive choice of words Michael, I truly imagined the beautiful scenery of your poem. Wonderful use of imagery, I truly enjoyed it.
Thanks Adam - the kind responses have set me up for the day.

\remember that song by johnathin king back in the 60's. Your piece today brought it to mind.
A delightfully sombre mental picture arose.
Yes I do remember that song - one of my favourites at the time and still plays well.
