Can this dawn warm a wintered heart
where furrowed thoughts are touched by rime,
or must I seek another shore
to find illusive peace of mind?
This autumn world is barren, bare,
pearls lie beneath the rotting loam,
and yet I cling to rays of hope
to teach a sparrow how to fly.

Masterly craft
This is so lyrical and up lifting...the reader must grow wings instantly and fly away with it!

Such a pleasure to read.
It's simplistic but conveys powerfully the resolve of the forlorn heart.
