The sound of the wind through the leaves
Sweet fragrance the scent of the evening
A pink petal caresses the air
Shimmers in the shades coldness
Blossom of winter wonderful and free
Intense the presence of your anointing
Precious gift adorned with splendour
For you remain faithful to your promise.

Wonderfully light and dreamy poem, Alan. A winter blossom indeed! Loved reading this.
I love how the tree makes its presence felt by the fragrance in the evening and the last three lines make one aware of the grand celebration ahead…
nice…i like how you start with the tree…and the blossoms, which my my fav part…and then take it much deeper with the spiritual uses and the promise….cool write alan…
What a beautiful reflective poem, Alan. I have never smelled the fragrance of an almond tree, but you have taken me right there and then much deeper into the promise fulfilled!
You use beautiful imagery at the beginning of your poem, Alan. I like the progression too, how you go from the images to the promise and its fulfillment.
I love this poem, Alan!
Alan, this is beautiful, gentle, soothing ….
“Sweet fragrance in the evening”, reflecting a soothing imagination while reading it. Quite relieving.
