Frosty Morn



As I approached the early dawn

walking briskly through the morn

frost and fog rise in the air

stinging eyes

and tears freeze there.



Surveying all the country side

watching cardinals red bodies fly

a grey squirrel scurries through dry leaves

hoping his breakfast to retrieve.



My senses fill with joy and life

putting off the world of strife-

gently soothing heart and mind

walking often---peace I find.



Not only peace of heart and self

As wonderful memories come off the shelf

and with the memories comes desire

embers explodes--heart's on fire.



So now the frost is no longer felt

for warmth has caused the ice to melt

springing steps pick up the pace--

I'm ready for the daily race..

A lot of times

We think of you as a silly clown on this site always cracking wise with the jokes. But the truth is you are a very inteligent, well read, well versed individual that I have come to love and respect. You're a good man, Nedl Brown.

Jeff

I will second that. I knew that from the first time I began reading his posts. He is many faceted, a little ornery at times, very rambunctious but also well read with opinions that carry weight. I believe him to be a very caring person who will give back that which he receives. He will trade insults with insults if the need arises but mostly enjoys just talking about things. Yep Nedl, I am also in your corner with Jeff.
