Defrosting

The moon appears, unveiled by clouds
rain so lightly falling upon the frozen lake.
As frosty vapors rise illumined by moons light,
I drift within the scenes an old man's lost thought.

Ah, but beauty stirs my soul silently waking

to rhythms pit-er-pattering coldly,
seeping deep beneath the skin.

It seems to me within our trouble,

All is and isn't about the land.

this is good about winter
when it is cold we get lost thought
soul silently waking most people silently wake because they do not get out of bed in the cold
great imagery of winter and emotions

Such complexity woven in so few words...
One can't help but admire such focus of thought
and feel the ripples of this verse. Blue
