A Silent Hush

Such beauty that falls from the heavens tonight like downy feathers from on high.

Falling from angels wings gently blanketing the earth in whispered breaths of a sigh.                     


                                      
A silent hush befalls the lil' country hollow where emerald pines they grace.

And snow capped streams flow endlessly with ice crystals that weave and lace.  



Winters breath so frigid and cold howls outside the lil' country cabin of log .

And inside by the grand stone fireplace sleeping soundly the old hound dog.



As I look out through frosted window pane at my heavenly winter wonderland on display.

It's as if through the silence you can hear the angels sing and on their harps they play.



Such peace my country heart finds within the downy snow so virgin white.

A serenity that only God above can know placed within my soul this very night.

Mary. : ) If nobody's been using the cabin, then by God the first thing you do is get the fire going! I always liked that feeling - even though it's still cold inside, you know that now time is working with you, that it's going to be warming up. And I love me a good old hound dog.

Nothing nicer than a log home and wood fire on a cold snowy day. I once lived in Northern Canada where a friend had exactly that. I loved to go visit during the cold winter months. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Hi my brown eyes, this is one of my many favourites of yours. How could it not be, you sing of the snow , we both love the snow. You do it so well, your canvas does become a living picture one can just walk into. As always i am transformed into this living picture and the beauty that surrounds me. This is indeed a gift that you possess. The writing is real and from the heart. Well, this winter scene marches merrily into my faves and it is a 7. Love always....Mike. XX
