snagged flurries
veil an old pear tree
with the suffocating
shroud of a final winter
ebony talons
rake brooking skies
search for borrowed blue
scraps of summer
gnarled digits
knuckle ivory drifts
clutch golden goblets
of mulled memories
frosted branches phantom
sprigged spring blossom
through snow’s coverlet
gilded promises gleam
Winter Aconites
brighten dark days
their glowing lanterns
herald new beginnings

So beautiful Val. I think it's the old pear tree at Morville. It was magnificent but sadly it has been taken down. It was diseased and pear trees do not usually live to a great age. This one outlived most.
Such a perfect tonic for these dark days ... Val’s optimism in her poetry is her gift which keeps giving ❤️
Your words will always live on mum ❤
