Winter's Farewell.

Iron-gray and warmth repelling Cloud clad skies in winter drab. Lowering and laughter quenching. Cold errodes in icy grab. Stone-still and mind consuming. Clammy air bites into thought. Blanketing and effort dampening. Movement to cessation brought. Grave-quiet and breath dispelling. Stifled breeze bestirs no leaf. Shivering and strangely yawning, Nature hangs in heavy grief. Love-sick for sun's restoring. Waits, entranced by chilled suspense. Sensually, in silent pining. Anticipating recompense. Rose-pink with blush of longing Imagines 'Spring' on conquest bent. Garlanding and colour strewing Nuptual bed's abandonment.
