Between the Waters

Snow Dreams

Posted by: EarlB, 2:56 AM GMT on January 20, 2013

Morning Glory,
Tendril-twined to
Everything within it's reach,
Trumpets love's invitation
To each passing moth:
Come sweet-away the day.

Sunshine blush
On petal and wing...
Waking, slowly waking….

It's still snowing,
Wind still blowing.
Time for more wood
In the stove.
Smoke goes tendril-twining
To the sky.

Coldwind glow
On face and hands…
Sleepy, slowly getting sleepy….

Dreaming of spring, are we? It's looking lovely there just now, as lovely as your poem. I like the movement, the coming into consciousness and dreaming away again. I was thinking about you a while ago - I've had Virginia on my mind, and the proposed lifting of the ban on uranium mining. What do you think about it? I have a friend whose farm will be affected if Coles Hill becomes a mine, so of course I have some strong feelings about it. Even so, it seems as though it's a bad decision. The supporters would have us believe nothing could go wrong. Opponents fuss and fume. Lobbyists are junketing themselves to death. And who gets the uranium? So many questions.

sa, i forget exactly what prompted the idea for this poem. i remember thinking, "that would be neat to try", but can't remember the thought process. ha ha! all mining is dirty business. my grandparents lived in the coal region of penna. and little good is left to the people who remain after the mines close. and then what about the purification process? we tend to "tinker" with things that have big consequence: frac-ing, excessive removal of underground water, everything has a cost. i hate to be thought of as a tree-hugging liberal but greed drives policy, not foresight. eb Member Since: September 19, 2001 Posts: 179 Comments: 79
