WINTER BERRIES

Scarlet berries break the grey
winter, life stripped to its bones
pristine under the cover of snow
beauty skin deep
pierced by thorns dripping blood
seeds of life.

I am so looking forward to spring.  In the dead of winter, even the Barberry bush that I normally do not care for, has its merits.  It has little red berries that lend a little color to the sad winter scene.  🙂
