*Winter Is (Now) Part 2*

 

 December.5.2013

 Trisha Barrek Hopkins

 

Winter is loving 

Winter is cold

Winter is for the young

And for the old 

Winter is awesome

For this is true

Because we've been told

Winter is for me 

Winter is for you 

Winter is for every family

Families big and small

And ones that have their own crew

 

Winter but only comes once a year

Not in spring or fall

But it only comes in the coldest days of winter 

You know when it's near 

The birds fly away

And when you wake up It's freezing outside

But you go out anyway In the snow to play

Build a fort....Sit there....Wait and hide

For the one who will get hit by your snowball

Will try to get you by the end of the day

So make sure to duck and get away

Make sure to have alot of ammo placed by

And once again sit quietly and pray

This time you'll get your shot

And not miss or you'll hurt your pride

But of course once again you miss

You try again and hit your target on spot

You have your ultimate bliss

He got hit with a snowball on the side of his head

By your little sis

You give her a high five

And jump for joy

And are glad you got him while you're alive

This year you finally got the boy

 

Winter is so much fun

But for now I'm heading in to get warm

And my boots feel like a ton

From all the snow that got inside

We have to hurry

Because here comes another storm

The clouds look dark,puffy,and wide

Yay! It's begining to flurry

 

Winter is loving

And I am cold and wet from the snow

I really don't like shoveling

You didn't care to hear before

But now you know

The fun events of today

In my diary I will store

So say good-bye to the bitterness of winter

Set it free

It's never a bore 

 

Winter has a charm

The best part 

Is when we have our first snow

It's so gorgeous outside

It brings warmth to your heart

From the sun It's all white and so much glitter

Not a snow flake misplaced 

It's just prettier

 

On our way to get on our sled 

Down the hill we slide

You won't want to miss the fun

Family all by your side 

Memories....holding on to each one 

 

Winter is loving

Winter is cold

Winter is only here for a little while 

So for now I'm going to enjoy

Sit back and watch it fall with a smile

For love the model forsook the runway. From that shallow world she did run away.
Her love awaited at the airport Monday. That eve they taxi'd down the runway.

*

Ribbon sunbeams wrap the present   of the Sun's blazing Presence.

*

He aspired to be a Venutian rather than a martyr.. to follow
the path of venus' love rather than sometimes angry mars.

*

He no longer harms daisies or their petals shreds..

to ask if her love for him has been shed.

*

For those in need, his empathic heart is always giving command performances

*

A warm day in November... a leaf came falling down..
but then he flitted up... it was not a falling flutterby... but a rising butterfly!

*

Love the fan makes spark the fire Love the focus creates form from desire Love the finescreen turns firehose to mist Love the filter sees Pharisee as Christ Love the factory where miracles are fashioned. Love the furnace freezing hearts have sought. Love the fruit tree with gifts for all laden. Love the filings on the greatest magnet caught.

*

In his heart bell hung a tong which struck every time
he caught sight of her or heard her voice.

*

Love is the purifier more sacred than pure fire.

*

Love limited, love circumscribed, love lukewarm is by God decried.

*

Love surrounds hate as the sea laves icebergs.
Hate is frozen Love. God is Love which will melt all hate
*
Love was the priest who married them.

*

The fen way becomes a fern way, finely traced fans of
jade.. waving in the wind.

Our invisible God's drum is the heartbeat of every creature.  He is entempled

forever in the deathless hearts of all beings

*

Whenever away from his warm healing magnetism she felt cold,  cut off from the light, and unplugged.
This same power was inside her. She resolved to
develop drilling tools.

*
As sublime as apples swell with dew  Slow as clouds roll into blue  Still as berry tea makes red the brew
Soft as rain into green limes grew  Gently as horizon ship moves into view  Welcome as South Wind with fragrance blew
Peaceful as sea.. delta sanddrift drew Do miracles arrive on Kismet's cue.

*

His royal highness the mountain. Her royal lowness the sea.

*

The great Lord can behind him twirl... vast universe' gyrating swirl.. that his rebellious insurrection... become his

glorious resurrection

*

There is no loss when one candle shares entire with others his holy fire

*

I watch his form   come into my eyes.   He is my    daily sunrise

*

The God he defied    others deified.    The God he defied   he now deifies

*

Why is it   they don't share  It's not that   they don't care but that as yet they're unaware

*

Sunset... couple time...as the evening enters the seventh chamber

   tapestried in light of violet rose and amber

*

In tree's release a sweet relief and soon the tree will itself releaf

*

Baby chick won't need a bucket list for all recognize his right to exist.

*

The sun's persistent tickles cause fearful pendant icicles

to dripdrop dripdrop drip and then to become treenursing trickles

 *

Many burning candles side by side become soon one flame as the
auras of those who work in harmony become one
*

If the government truly wanted an end to smoking nicotine would the price of the nicotine gum

be so obscene

*

Before they ever touched each others their shadows had merged.

*

Chanel Number 5 had ambergris from sperm whales, civet from the civet cat, musk, each oz. from the castrated
glands of 38 musk oxen, and castor from the Canadian beaver. Should it have been called Chanel Number 41?

*

War profiteer cartels and our warwaging government are called The United States
by war profiteer media. Everywhere including peace loving Schenectady the American people
dislike such synecdoches.
