A Winters Quiet

In quiet solitude the snow flakes fall
white feathers drifting slowly to the ground
while the trees in stark grander standing tall
sleep, by winters chilling cold tightly bound

And the winter, with  fogged and frozen breath
brightly sheaths each branch so bare and brown
in ice as coldly hard and still as death
but shines as bright as any kingly crown

Dark skies stretching across the frozen land
lend a spectral light to this winter  scene
that only by natures outstretched hand  
will once again turn from white to green



For the contest "Pictures of Winter"

    "In quiet solitude the snow flakes fall" Just something about a snowfall so quiet that you hear a soft and sacred spiritual refrain(recurring piece of verse) in its silence, Linda. Your verse was an amazing soltitude of the refrain. Thanks for sharing this gem Linda. Agape, Moses

    Lovely poem Linda, I picture it all. Oh to return to a winnter wonderland again, instead of Christmas heat and Australia's somewhat tacky Christmas decorations!
