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 | ||||||||
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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW OBSERVATION by MARY R.
