It's So Cold - winter

It's so cold

even the snow groans

when trod upon so

it cries out saying

"Go back inside

where warm things stay alive

to remain intact

until spring comes back".

Music Every Moment - winter

Music at the University,

as in Elizabethan times,

was as living in a castle

playing songs and singing rhymes.

Full expression of the soul,

heart and mind,

how much longing lives in me

to return to that liberating time...

Survive - winter

 

The temperature plummeted -

dangerously cold.

The thought was, no one outside

could survive.

It's true if left

to your own devices

you couldn't stay alive.

Hope lies on the horizon

for God of the Polar Vortex,

so dire,

also created a forest of trees;

wood for a warming fire.

We gather around its protection

from there cold's harm is forced to subside

as we continue to anticipate spring

knowing Providence will provide.

Snowy Blanket - winter

Lay down your snowy blanket

snuggle me in

with solitude

silent thoughts

family

friends

it really doesn't matter

they're still blessings that you send;

so lay down your snowy blanket -

snuggle me in.

Pad the Earth with Snowing - winter

 

                                 This is the creek by our house this morning...

                         

                         God will pad the earth with snowing

                        to quiet down our coming and going... 

 



 

                                                      May beauty follow you today...

Winter Window - winter

Winter window

shines so bright,

sun reflecting

off wintry white;

how I love to admire

its entirety

that covers the land

like a rolling crystalline sea.

I walk,

I ride upon its froth

my mind and imagination

caught

by its transformation of lament

with which life is fraught...

comfort me thus

if just

for awhile

and bring to my world

your smile.
