A WELCOME SOLACE!


Saturday, May 16, 2020

Storms in the night disturbed my sleep. I thought I would offer an original poem today instead.

A WELCOME SOLACE!

Why, when winter’s bite bids us hide
‘neath blankets near the fire’s side,
Our hearts are calm and our souls content?

It is a refuge to be in
Secured from chill and winter’s wind.
But summer also locks us in
With conditioned air on moistened skin.

Its whooshing, incessant wind
Is more a guard than tender friend.

So wait we here for temperate air
And mop our brow, and smooth our hair
While we peel ourselves from our easy chair.

So come winter’s cool embrace
Bring welcome solace to this place.
