First Snow



High above
one solid bright cloud
spans the sky.

Below,
soft frozen blanket
covers the earth.

Perfect crystals drift down
from the heavens;
gently brush our faces--
frozen angel tears.

All is white...

purified
refreshed
renewed

baptized by winter's frozen grace.

  3. Ginny, There's a great symmetry to this...earth and sky joined in the whiteness, with your human presence to provide wonderment. I hope the spirit of the season is kind to you and yours.

  5. You set the scene well, Ginny. If I were an angel, I would be spending a lot of time crying over mankind right now. best wishes for a bright New Year.
