Lonely winters

\nThere are blue tits shyly hiding by the dozen in a box,
\nAnd a trail of brush and footmarks shows the passage of a fox.
\nThere are shining silver baubles on the branches of the tree,
\nBut the winter hasn’t brought you home to me.<\/p>\n
There’s a skin of glass hard water on the surface of the pond,
\nThat has captured start and ending of a softly blowing frond.
\nStill the birds have space for drinking by a bobbing rubber ball
\nBut without you all these frozen beauties pall.<\/p>\n
Overhead the Moon is winking through a gap in looming clouds,
\nAt the starlings by the thousands in their whirling swirling crowds.
\nAnd the cup of tea I’m holding is my only source of heat
\nI am sitting here without you on the seat.<\/p>\n
Winter gardens full of nature touch the heart in many ways,
\nWith their own undreamt of marvels and the hope of warmer days.
\nBut if I am here without you can the Winter ever part,
\nCome to me, my distant lover, mend my heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
