Unconditional

In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts. - Thoreau

i breathe the gelid nip of this hibernating season

bombarding it with my foolhardy questions

i listen intently behind a slumbering, cold shoulder

carried 'pon the back of a stealth, blue breeze comes a latent response

in the whirlwind of taciturn time

since when does creation need a reason

Author's Note

"They were pleasant spring days, in which the winter of man's discontent was thawing as well as the earth, and the life that had lain torpid began to stretch itself.." - Thoreau

My sentiments exactly...since when does creation need a reason. :)

We are blessed to be able to enjoy every second of the changing season that's upon us......now more than ever before...I give thanks every day for that honour.

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth." - Thoreau
