winter crushed autumn's
rustic tones
leaving no leaves
with starkness of cold

spring melted winter's
wonderland
sparing no sparseness
from invading green

summer wilted spring's
flowering future
heating the heartland
and wringing her growth

autumn chilled summer's
languid plays
sinking the sun
to put joy assunder

the trees forgive the
buds they used to be,
the birth and the death
of the cycle

surfaces and surrenders.
the sun comes closer
and moves away, as if
ever changing

in the same ways.
I was supposed to write a poem about forgiveness for a group exercise. I spilled this one out, but I'm not that happy with it. I ended up not attending the group meeting that day. Can I be forgiven for that? I don't know, but I find it hard to force the poems to be poems. They will just be what they want to be anyway. I do like the second to last stanza. Yea. Hmm. Posting it anyway.

I like it.  When are you back from Aussie?  I'm starting to get those end of winter blues, you know, where you feel you've been a hibernative recluse for ages, your house is so lived in it needs a bloody good spring clean, and you feel like you've become quite isolated and start worrying about yourself!  But I think this is probably fairly typical for a lot of people at the end of winter. 

Looking forward to being more social as the weather warms, feel like it would do me the world of good.
