You gaze, your golden eye fringed
with pine lashes; snow cradle angels
frame your grace in a face of blue.
You brush a message of “unknown“
across grainy crystal canvas that
answers a question from the soul.
You frost the dancing winter willow
as its scraggly yellow hair shimmies
with gratitude; “no limbs lost, thanks.“
Your tacit promise of Spring sings
in the pine shadow bouquet; your
dear voice heard, soft and clear.
Nature Speaks
You gaze, your golden eye fringed
with pine lashes; snow cradle angels
frame your grace in a face of blue.
You brush a message of unknown
across grainy crystal canvas that
answers a question from the soul.
You frost the dancing winter willow
as its scraggly yellow hair shimmies
with gratitude; “no limbs lost, thanks.”
Your tacit promise of Spring sings
in the pine shadow bouquet; your
dear voice heard, soft and clear.

Thanks, Carol Anne. The thing about nature is that it is always speaking, but do we take time to notice and really listen?

The appreciation of nature shines through each verse with the attention to those details we can easily miss. I so enjoyed “pine lashes” and “dancing winter willow”.
