Crystal Colors

My eyes beheld the splendor
Of the icy display
Trees graceful bends thrust
Frozen in a crystalline crust

My ears heard the crackling
Of the frozen display
As some limbs give way
To the load of the day

My eyes behold the brilliance
As sun touches ice
droplets of water give birth
to rainbows falling to the earth

Very nice poem, dear Debra! And the title is perfect for me, as I love crystals and the visual effects aroused by just these magic words! Sweet memories of times gone by, when I was studying in Europe: Xmas in Paris, in Berlin and some other places. Now, tropical rain and heat have replaced the snow and ice and crstal stars on the windows...Your poem is a beautiful painting of pristine remembrance; thanks for sharing and have a very happy new year too! Love, Hanitra
