Loves Hope

On a midwinters morn
Icicles washed in the sunrise.
Soft snowflakes falling,
Frost forming there.
Harsh winter winds
Whipping all around.

My love lies broken
death consumed her
Oh for the soft breast
My head rested on
Clinging night remains
Longer in wintertime.

My heart lies still broken
When will my love return?
My hope is eclipsed
Cold snow seems to deepen
The sun fails to warm
Its a wintry cheerless balm.

A more perfect
Sunlight perhaps
May I hope again?
To see my love
Laughing, dancing, singing
A song with treasured lips.

My love lies merely sleeping
She will return again?
She sleeps a perfect sleep
Dreaming til summer days are here
She, in perfect beauty now
Casts shadows upon the sun

Wintry fingers fading,
The final pages near.
My love, she is returning
Her breath warms the soul
Buds of spring bursting
And sparrows nestle here.
