Debbie Guzzi Poet Free verse

Beauteous Bones

We’ve not dreamt the crystal morn,
the tinkling ping of sun warmed ice,
the egg white branch of lilac dipped,
the magic of the wintry day 
which fills the heart with awe.
Such days of silver ice and blue white snow 
the lancing spears of ‘cicle formed
awake are we to majesty, that all too soon is gone.
Gone in graceful austerity, a loveliness all its own,
the white of skeleton, these beauteous bones.

Christopher Marcum February 3, 2011 at 7:14 AM smile -- 'such days of ice and blue white snow - the lancing spears of 'cycle form...the white of skeleton, beauteous bones.' -- this has such a beautiful feel my dear; classical and unique unto yourself i would say; quite revealing towards a lightened Soul not only gifted but, very beautiful i believe; a definite fave as you yourself -- love, christopher ~
