Afternoon Sun

As cold as it gets, I will miss this time of year and the afternoon sun As it lowers in the sky and glows across the snow on the hill Where tree shadows decorate the yard, across pure white ground The comforting peace, that comes with the end of each day As the sun sets in quiet solitude, creating moments to appreciate Looking back on everything…. from morning to sweet afternoon No leaves to block the light, shining through bare branches In preparation for the night, to filter into dreams, this glorious sight Heidi Sands 3/3/19

Hi Heidi, Winter is beautiful - its beauty in its starkness of leafless trees, winter blooming flowers, cold nights by the fire with your loved one, watching TV from a couch for two, wrapped up in a warm blanket and waiting for the doorbell to ring as you have ordered pizzas, it goes with the ambiance of a cozy winter evening. Wonderful poem, Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Very soothing and tranquil, especially in this cold weather; we've had the first day of sun in a couple of weeks, here and this poem brightens the day even more.
