- January -

A freezing cold evening

Where the stars shining bright

With frost blade flanks

From mouth and nose steam

In the clear silence

White untrodden snows

Nature's frozen pulse

Sleep like a little baby

One gracious moon

After the night the light is shattered into gold

At sunrise raise your heartbeat

Hi Anne-Lise, January is a dream of a write. It can touch the Soul with such Crystalline delight. Your soft words paint such a wonderful picture Anne-Lise, one can easily see your winter painting. January comes and a new year begins. Your words sing, may they always sing Anne-Thus us a canvas i would ever like to see....Vladislav.

Loved the "nature's frozen pulse". Recently, I've read an autobiography where the author visited your country, Anne. His description of its unique beauty made me think of you and your poetry. So lovely... hugs!
