Early morning mist
Blurs and softens lines with cold
Dark grey hazy veils
Of sumi-e dreams of charcoal
Trees waiting for spring to come.
Shades of Grey 短歌

I dare you to insert the word “Fifty” before “Shades of Grey.” 😛

It is always so magical, experiencing the quiet of Winter. It gives me a chance to just breathe, and enjoy life, and wait a while before the constant running too and fro of excitable Spring.

Thank you very much for finding me and liking this. I too love the restful time of winter. If you are interested, you might want to check out my posts: December: Thursday 3:00 a.m., and January Solitude, and Jaunary Solitude Part II in the September 2012 Archives. I hope you do and that you like.

I loved 12/21/12 12:21 am, and I even wrote another poem that it inspired. It won`t be published until later in April, but until then I still appreciate what you did here!
