Thankfully, the bite of winter has only appeared briefly here in Pennsylvania.
This poem, Deep Winter, explores not only the literal winter but the spiritual one; the winter we might experience on any given day.
You can hear the spoken-word version of Deep Winter below. The written-word version appears in the upcoming Pennsylvania Bards Eastern PA Poetry Review (Local Gems Press).

Stay warm – inside and out – and please subscribe to this blog (if you’re so inclined). Peace, Mary

Mary,
A timely pre-Lenten meditation that recognizes struggles and offers the possibility of hope. Bleak whiteness…greyness…can burst forth in vibrant colors…if we wait patiently…not without hope as in S&G’s “I Am a Rock”… Thank you
