You play peek-a-boo behind the white fluffy covers, revealing the radiance of your warmth at random times. Are you afraid that with your long absence you won't be welcomed or is it that you like playing with us by slowly unveiling your prowess of exciting the world with your presence. Oh you tease, this brief glimpse of what we so desire to happen and then disappearing with no signs of a long visit.
The time of your arrival is overdue. Come out and stay for a visit. All will rejoice at your arrival. Dancing and singing will fill the air.
Brightness that shines as look upon us will blind many with a air of celebration. No! Don't hide or run away. We want you to stay. We need you to stay. Flowers will bloom, bees will buzz, leaves will blossom. It is time for you to come back to us. Warm up the breeze that is blowing. Fill the streams with the runoff of melting snow.
I am begging you to stop the teasing. Please kind one let us see you for a long stay. Warm us up and dry up the puddles form our tears that we have shed in your absence. You are a welcome stranger here today and every day.
We love you and miss you. These brief visits only make us ache for the days that you will once again grace with your presence.
We can still play a game or two on the occasional days that you need to rest but it is time to come back for that long awaited visit. The seasons are confused when you hide for so long. Things are a tilted askew. No more teasing that you are on your way. Shine down upon us with the glow of your love.
The white fluffy blanket you have been hiding behind has turned dingy gray again turning it to a cold day. Remember the glory days of seasons past when you set so late. We need you. Oh wait can it be the pleas have been heard. Yes I see you-wait! What a tease!
How sad. My first thought is your son-in-law, although I don't want to pry. The teaser is an outsider and I'm glad that you still have each other in the house to hold onto and love. I'll pray for the teaser.
ReplyDeleteMarni thanks for the prayers but the teaser is the sunshine. I wrote this as a plea for spring to finally come however I appreciate your kind thoughts. Yes we are fortunate to have each other in this house and kind people like you.
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat excellent writing! I've really enjoyed your creative pieces that you've written over the semester. This is really good work. Please keep writing... you really do have a gift! And, I hope that the sun comes out and stays out for you guys. I'll try to send a little sunshine and warmth your way!
