Angel Dust

‘Purer than the Driven Snow’, has echoed throughout the years. Why? You might ask… is it thought to be so…so very dear? It fascinates and boggles the mind, in so many interesting ways. The white it shows, is truly the purest white, we will ever know. Intricate shapes are beyond belief, never one the same, to show. Millions do fall in a single storm, that’s a miracle, too, I say. It can blanket and protect the ground from a day’s deep, hovering cold. It holds our minds in awe, so very white, reflecting its’ light into our soul. It sparkles in the deep moonlight, inspiring us to our knees, to joyfully pray. And where does it come, but from the heavens above, on a very cloudy day. A playgrounds dream, where imagination sings, and sends us, to its’ display. Where snow angels are made, on a winter’s day… in such a touchable way. This I do call… Angel Dust… God’s Gift… for us.

Snow is beautiful..We have it rarely here in the south and we are not prepared to deal with it..I can't imagine having to deal with it like people who live up north..I guess those that live there just know from childhood how to handle it and how to cope..I really enjoyed reading your very expressive and creative work today..Thanks for stopping by my blog..I will let Jack know that you stopped by..Sara
