Winters Weapon

the harmony of the clouds in the sky sing the silent song of snow half notes and whole notes denoted in the air while winds whistle and whispers it's constant dare eye's worship and stare at the greatness of the shroud hiding us from the moon and stars a frozen blanket stretches so far it equals the size of the sea it speaks in the tongues of winter cold, freezing and froze contemporary names for conditions under it's rule the powers of the heavens employ destruction to those who do not fear who have not shelter and are not strong whom time has scheduled for an end rocks break mountains fall the sun hath no protection for those whom winter covers with it's shawl it stands only to witness the rules of winters regions the extreme north and south the white worlds where solitude is inevitable and nothing moves except the wind to deliver it's stiffening potion to liquid beings flowing with water and blood the winter invades the south with intentions of creating a new ice age but sand defends the southern shores time and time again the silent song of the snow eventually must end giving in to the sun to melt the weapons of winters sin

Winter can be a rough time ...We here in the south don't have it too bad but we do get some snow occasionally..My husband started sitting with me at church before I was old enough to date or at least my parents would not let me date..Then he did his active duty in the military..My parents wanted me to finish school but I got married before my last year.I went back after my youngest child started to school and went on to finish college..Masters now in Christian Ministry..Thanks for stopping by.SK

John iii, I hope you entered this narrative in the winter poem contest. If you didn't, you should. Burr! It's cold... But not as cold as Norway! Thank God above for the Sun and a well planned planetary rotation that gives us seasons to freeze and to please... summer fun! It's all in the good plan. Smiles, Dane Ann
