TOWARD WINTER'S END, by MARY R. MASTROMARCHI
First Line: Toward winter's end, my meager mind beholds
Last Line: And awaken for the spring at winter's end.
Subject(s): Life
First Line: Toward winter's end, my meager mind beholds
Last Line: And awaken for the spring at winter's end.
Subject(s): Life
Toward winter's end, my meager mind beholds
Trees' lacy limbs entwined and interlaced
In shadows stark within this pool encased.
The waters' vitreous resemblance rolls
Away, as whirring, whiffling wind consoles;
Symbolic of forgiven wrongs erased!
Rare beauty in the many karns stays graced.
Like this life's acts are mirrored on men's souls.
When all the tides their estuaries meet
And rays of sun reflect on solitude
The men who tried to learn, then comprehend
Life's purpose that shall never meet defeat.
The buds will blossom forth to plenitude
And awaken for the spring at winter's end.
