Respite
Nature's fury
spent and weary -
all await
her gentle sigh.
Margaret Bednar, January 11, 2014
We had such cold here (for North Carolina) and last night rain, rain, rain and a thunderstorm. I think the sun is promised to show up tomorrow along with temperatures in the mid 50's. Thats a nice "sigh" for me.
Linking this with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Open Link Monday".
i like that.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, her gentle sigh.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a gentle sigh from Mama Nature.
ReplyDeleteI love the photograph!
I wrote poems for the "orb" challenge belatedly at both Word Garden and Coal Black's. I hope you'll come by.
awww.
ReplyDeletethis is really universal. love it!
gorgeous photo, too.
My first concern is always for the animals when the weather turns so cold but your horse seems to have a thick winter coat.
ReplyDeleteGreat lines, Margaret.
You are so right, when a bout of nasty old weather heads away, everyone and everything sighs.
ReplyDeleteThis is not my horse, but one that boards at our barn.

ReplyDeletethis time of year, any respite is welcome!

Yes, Margaret, and that horse is waiting too. I think I can see frost on the pasture.
ReplyDeleteWe have a nice warm, in the 70's, day here in the South Gulf Texas today. Our golfing group has a tee time tomorrow but it may not get out of the 60's then.

A wonderfully distilled sentiment here. Yes, we do await. Nice work.

Your images and words always pair perfectly, Margaret...I love to think of the velvet muzzle, "gentle sigh."
ReplyDeleteIt's happening everywhere apparently! We have floods over here! Nicely Marge!

fine work, Margaret ~
ReplyDeleteHope the weather shows mercy.
ReplyDeleteI add my aye to that sigh. The cold returns tonight.
ReplyDeleteyeah, gotta love the calm after the storm...and once she breathes easy we can too...cool shot of the horse...i need to look tonight as i pass the stables to see how the ones here are doing in this weather.
ReplyDeleteAh, but I'll bet it was colder here!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying a bit of a respite, but then snow is on its way again. Don't mind the snow, but the bitter, can't go outside cold... ugh!
This poem is perfect, and I love the image that you chose to go with it.
Lovely poem, Margaret! We are still waiting for winter here but I know that in the USA you have had more than your share. I am sure you are all waiting for Nature's 'gentle sigh'.
