Under the frost and ice moons don’t despair
The maidens quickening is soon near
The winds turning warm and fair
Singing budding spring for all to hearIn the grove of skeletal birch don’t feel sorrow
Let the cold silver moonlight shadows spear
Beneath the snow hides the seeds of tomorrow
Let purple blue moonlight guide souls vision hereWhen the world is frozen, ice, snow, white

Listen to what intuition hears
Teeming life comes back with the light
Spring’s awakening is soon near

I’m revelling in the fact that Stockholm is white and covered in snow. I chase blinding sunlight on snow whenever it’s there. The lengthening days are noticeable. Still in the core of most northerners lies the longing for spring.

Thank you!
I could hear your voice as I read this poem, Helene! Your accent and rhythm are imbued in your words. I love the internal rhyme of the phrase ‘Singing budding spring’ and the images of the ‘purple blue moonlight’ guiding souls and teeming life coming back with the light.
I am enjoying the birch trunks here as well…….I love your wonderful Winter Forest! And your beautiful poem. I can feel the quickening.
I love the way you compare our internal intuition with the life under the snow. It’s easy to disregard both. Atmospheric writing.
Very beautiful with snow, maidens and carefully placed rhymes. Inspiration for February.
