Yesterday's dreamland...
...is today's reality check wonderland 😁
it's Canada and it's March!
it's Canada and it's March!
The world is white where yesterday we soaked in gold
puddles of sun
And reveled in delight as we began to dream of days to
come
Before, while we were fast asleep a downy sky-wide blanket stole
Each whimsy-tickled Fantasy, tucked beneath winter’s
ling'ring toll
The world is white where we caught sight of dandelions
and jonquils
As we with half-shut eyes espied their golden storm upon
yon hills
Now circumstantial evidence swaddles the fence, the woods
and pond
Picnic baskets forsook by brooks that sparkle through the
great beyond
The world is white and bids us fight the good fight we
cannot ignore
Star-eyed reprieve of make-believe must face cold
knee-deep facts once more
The garden stoked with dream-plants poked perfectly into
earthy silk
Evaporates on plates of fresh baked happiness with tea or
milk
The world is white, a sorry sight for we imbibed with heady
thoughts
Of arbors wisteria-draped or over-flowing flower-pots
Alas, the grass has disappeared beneath an over-flow of
stars
That fell from Old Man Winter’s beard to steal reluctant
summer-hearts

It's true; this summer-heart is easily seduced by undeniable beauty
Even if it's white!
Who can hate a world where every austere outline is stenciled in freshly-fallen snow?!
