“In the midst of winter I found there was within me an invincible summer.” Albert Camus
I Know They Will Winter stirs suggestively, knowing that it sets the bones so well, that one feels before it is felt, knowing that it desires to be penetrated by shafts of intangible sunlight, latterly I reach out, and they dance away behind the laden, grey clouds, with no promise of returning, but I know they will.

Ha, perhaps that’s entirely true too, though originally I was focussed on the long slog of a rainy winter ending. 🙂

Yes, but you all have a severe winter, if you came here in winter I’m sure you’d think it was spring or autumn, just darker.

Seasons are caused by the revolution of earth around the sun and the fact that earth is tilted on its axis. The seasons repeat year after year as the revolutionary behavior of the earth continues as well as the fact that earth is permanently tilted on its axis; the earth goes through the same behavior each year.

Your poem is perfect for this moment, Paul! The cold and the damp settle in my bones too, but this afternoon the sun is shining and I have one of those slanting sunbeams on my back. 🙂
