Words on a snowy day

 

 

Hello there...

My computer has a patch job, so it is working...how long...no one knows

I wish I could say the same thing about blogger....and picasa...I still can't post photos

 

and what am I without pics

just words.

 

so it will have to do...except for the photo above taken on our way home from Galena Il

 

snow and sunshine and blue skies and clouds....add fields and hills

and you have magic being sighted

 

Here's a poem....a little one written by Valerie Worth

 

 

 Snow

 

Garden's, fields,

the far hills,

lie deathly

with white winter,

 

Wide drifts

and heavy deeps

made only of

each snowflake fallen,

 

Like these many

still falling, these

few still alive

on my sleeve-

 

None anywhere

ever like

this one, this

very one.

 

 

When I stop and remember this small poem

...remember  it

after just having grumbled about another day of snow and cold

I am taken down with shame

 

Have I really lost the child within?

The power of poetry...ahhh

 

I am a child again

happy and joyful

filled with awe at what I see before me

a miracle of tiny flakes

glistening

their beauty back to where they have come from

 

I glisten too

 

..the power of just words
