on the cusp of spring when the world is damp and bleak when tall tree limbs stretch toward the heavens stripped bare by the fierce nor’easters of winter their brittle fingers clutching air against the gray I wonder what if winter hangs on and spring never comes? how easy it is to teeter on the edge, weary from long, dark nights, from the frigid nip of ice-laced wind against my face chilling me to the bone how silly of me to think it
spring always comes
as if on cue the song of peepers from the edge of a nearby creek echoes through the mist snapping me out of all doubt settling my wild musing reassured now, as if… and I think, I just may have a few more springs in me left until winter wraps me in eternity just a few more
What a beautiful reflection, Kat! I find great comfort in your closing lines about the Springs left before Winter wraps us in eternity. Here’s to the present moment and the Springs we have left 💖
Hi Willow. We are adjusting to all the changes that flipped our plans last year. It is possible Traci may need another very complicated surgery this year, but not before she meets our new great-granddaughter in May! We are focusing on what matters most. Thank you for asking 🥰💚
So it is easier for you to find all the parts/chapters of my ongoing fiction series, I created a new page that lists all the links. You can check it out HERE!
