"cold patience"

Nay, love has not died in me, though it be buried deep for fear of being withered by the harsh realties outside. If anything it has grown, not in size but in intensity. A little core of tremendous dormant energy like unto the small seed which awaits only favorable conditions to burst into life and become a mighty tree in time. And be not fooled if you observe sometimes a course expression in my countainance or I assume a seemingly cheerless demeanor. I am not wholly forlorn, nor indeed am I bereft of hope. Under the rugged brown bark of the tree does not the sap flow in living wood? True it may be that the sap flows but slowly in the tree which is blasted by the bitter cold of winter, yet when spring comes again it sushes and bustles about the branches to bring new life in fresh, green leaves. I am as the frost bitten tree, long has been my winter, yet my thoughts and hopes are bent ever towards the coming spring, tardy though it be. -scarecrow- (edited)
