Being under the weather

 Hello: This is my first post in a while because I've been fighting physical ailments for more than the last two years. The two books I have started have been on LOW while I get ready to return to cooking them.

In the meantime, here is another poem I hope you will enjoy.

Patrick

Icy Sky

The sky is ice blue, mirroring the blue ice below.  

It is framed by quiet white hills and sleeping black trees.
The wispy clouds are sparse and high and bloodless.   

They move quickly through my view,
As if in a hurry to find warmer places.

 Nature's embracing scents blanketed in a snowy embrace.

I can sense it everywhere I feel.
My ears hear it as the caress of whispery wavelets.

It enters my nostrils and smells of energizing cold.
It strokes my eyes in the sweetness of shimmering light.

The breeze picks up my contentment and carries it to the world.

 I can feel nature's cold hands.
I'm warming. I feel cozy.
I must go inside,
for I must be freezing to death.
