Winter is Dead
Conceal my heart, from all that, can see
The love that I carry
Right here on my sleeve
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”
― A.A. Milne
This post is dedicated to #WednesdayYellow #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra - Let me see how much you can color this world!
A woodland walk among the leaves
Guided by the gentlest breeze
Branches so golden and roots, deep still in the earth
Shading my life from the decades that are spinning
Until
One day
My tall, sturdy knight
Standing through the weather
the seasons of life
In this world that I had created
An all-knowing sense
Of truth as we know it
Littering the Earth, Converging into one
So the joy may touch your soul

I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
Thank you for the resteem, @pixresteemer!
The lovely yellow flowers sure brighten a winter’s day. Awesome shot and color of the crescent moon, Denise. U&R.
We have begun to pop a few here in the Washington, DC area. Protected by the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay, it is in a banana belt of sorts. We don't get that much weather in the winter which is fine by me!! (this comes from a former New Englander!) LOL
Although, there are days that I miss the snow!
Thank you for your lovely comment, vote and the Steeming!

Lovely words and photos @dswigle; wish we could also reflect on winter being "dead" here, but alas we had a few snowflakes drifting down again today. But that's no reason to not enjoy the beauty... and any occasional "sunny spots" that might come our way!
=^..^=
Exactly! I totally agree with you on that one! We must enjoy the beauty, no matter what form it takes. Oh, let's just walk on the sunny side of life!
!tip
Precisely! And who wants to get caught up in a bunch of gloom and doom, anyway?
Thanks for the tip!
=^..^=
My pleasure!

Oh Princess, you sure can work the camera. You captured the magic of Spring and Sun, and shared it all with us. Beautiful.
You know I love A.A. Milne. I am an unabashed fan of Winnie the Pooh. I think most of the important life lessons can be learned there. Great choice of his words. They are second to only yours...
Well. thank you so much for your always encouraging words. Spring is magic, isn't it? One day its winter and boom! The next its Spring! All it takes is one week of slightly warmer weather and behold, we start to bud!
I do so love me some A.A. Milne! Yes. the most important things I have learned, I learned in Kindergarten, unless I learned them from Winnie the Pooh.
Awww. You do say the nicest things.

Winter is dead? Yay, what excellent news! Resteemed to spread this wonderful information to the entire world!! Wonderful photos :-)
Hehehe. You wouldn't know. You don't even have winter, so I have to let you know when it's over! It is good news, although not everybody is done with it!
Thanks for stopping by and the nice comments you always push out! Thank you for getting the word out! They can all put those snow shovels away!

We had some winter this year! I was not impressed.... now it's cold and it just doesn't want to quit.
I'd like to say, poor baby! But, I know that you never get nasty weather. You live in a fantasyland that we are all jealous of.
And now, with the bushes you planted, I can't even get there anymore!
There's a hidden gate... hit me up on Discord :-)
Ohhhh!! Who knew!! You know I will!

LOVE the tulips and buttercups..... but especially the eclipsing moon. That is a wonderfully fun photo.
It was in the 20s here last night and supposed to be tonight again. What is up with that. Winter is taking another slap at us, trying to hold on.
Go away winter !
Rats!! It was cold here too last night, I slept with the window open as I always do and it ended up a little breezy too!
Well, daylight brought nice temps and a wonderful day, but, honestly, it is this back and forth that will kill the cherry blossoms again this year.
Those are actually tulips, the yellow ones. I love how the sun shined right through them! Well, it certainly isn't warm out now either.
Rats.
!tip
You left the window open last night ??? Maybe you are more Cra-Cra than I thought !
I don't know if my Mom leaves her's cracked open in the 20s (I'll have to ask).... but she does love to leave one open a bit on a cool night. Tommy is very cold natured though, so there is an electric blanket on his side of the bed. LOL.....
I thought I said tulips and buttercups.....LOL.... and they are both yellow. You will never convince me that the second photo is a tulip..... no matter how much you bully me. :) (maybe jonquil or daffodil.....they all lump together to me)..... but tulip.... no.... nuh uh.....
First one is tulip, the second one is daffodil, followed by orange-ish tulips. I always leave my windows open halfway except in the summer. I like the fresh air and if I get cold, my down comforter keeps me cozy.
It's going to be colder tonight! Woo-hoo!
That's what I said !
Cra-Cra..... :)
Hehehe! Whatsa matter tootsie, you don't like fresh air????
Sure I do ! But not 20something degree fresh air....INSIDE!!
LOL.... nope !
Oh, what a little baby! You probably would have died on the wagon train ride out West.
There was plenty of fresh air to be had!
