(Sharing one stanza of my poem)
WINTER IS A CAREFUL NURSE
(Inspired by John Keats’ Sonnet — The Human Seasons)
Maybe it’s in the youthful years
of spring when green and blissfully
unaware if one wakes or sleeps,
and remotely untouched by the
prospect of an imminent end,
Man uncurtains heaven and
fails to see that one cannot
prolong the night—that in the shores
of darkness, there too exists a
budding light; that in the sullen mist,
uneven stones still mark the way
to lead the feet with mental might
through untrodden greenery. Maybe.
