The spice of winter and
cinnamon cake
and Daphne is sharing her
fragrance
which does indeed make
me so grateful that out in
this cold
there is my delight to ‘lo
and behold’
a delicate flower that
thrives in the frost
and certainly shows that ‘all
is not lost’ because I feel chilled,
when the devas around Daphne
are indeed thrilled.
As I go indoors for a cup of
tea and a spiced-apple treat,
under the snow every winter-time
buried bulbs are preparing
to bloom,
for this season too will
soon ‘come to pass’
and new spring-time colours
will shine from the vase.
So never let a day go by
without feeling the joy of each
gift to you
when all around they are
showing through
whatever the weather, whatever
your day
there is hope in the flowers
and nature’s array
of shapes, greenery and
light on the leaves,
notice the plants and feel
the relief
just enjoying a moment in
the wonder of life,
instead of racing past or
whizzing-by.
