Winter's Ghost Poem by Barry Middleton

Winter's Ghost



a breeze that stirs the pine
will bring its seed to earth

the passion of the spring
shall celebrate rebirth


the raintree's russet leaves
are colors of the dawn

the mockingbird will sing
to claim the world lives on


more orchids set their buds
as winter counts its loss

and men may then reflect
but all must bear a cross


the ghost of winter fades
yet cannot bring release

what is the worth of spring
without the hope of peace

Instead of getting better the evil in the world seems to be getting worse.

Very nice poem. Even nature's beauty can not help to escape us from violence. Still I pray with you. May peace be upon all. Thank you for sharing.
