While The Year Hangs Skeleton Poem by Gert Strydom

While The Year Hangs Skeleton



While the year hangs skeleton
in this winter
there are sparrows, starlings
and doves catching my eyes

and from somewhere
a squadron of weavers suddenly does arrive
that descends on the seed
that I have spread
like a hungry crowd out of the sky

that does sing jubilant
while they eat the seed
and I know
that the Lord does also
stretch out His hand
with wonderful things for me.
