Its not yet 5.00 pm
the blue sky of today
that is now a dark blue
this is Nature’s way
of showing us winter
and frost of yesterday
that just about melted
and now it will pay
as it sits getting colder
all over again
the thrill of the sun
an enlightened refrain
the truest resilience
in situ it sits
as the ice comes to conquer
with irs Wintry bits
to cut into the marrow
to seer with the hoar
crystals of real frost
One best not ignore
Dewi stands out there
his neighbourly skill
giant stones apparently
a new step will
Be so much easier
for me to climb
to reach up to the sky
in the passage of time
