Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is winter, both as a subject and a symbol.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com
.
A name poem for a young man who devotes himself to
truths beyond time, and who is therefore prepared for winter as a metaphor for
death.
Yielding the present for precincts better known.
Life goes on, of course, as habits harden
And winter wields the wind to drive him home.
No matter: He has been there all along.
