Notes About The Poem

Beautiful

(B)right sunshine paints the snow
(E)nlightening visions come alive
(A) winter day brings striking beauty
(U)nveiling the light in my soul
(T)rees bring delicate shadows
(I)nviting me to walk with stillness
(F)orging through trouble, calmly
(U)nderstanding winter’s message
(L)ight of love in a cold beautiful day

A great contrast of realitys Constance, Its a strong read.' I see also You have put an entry in my current (hit list or Kill list contest.) As always you pay good Attention to details.' I see you have put a name To the list, so it must exist ' I was told there are Some as young as 13 years old on it.? I Suppose time will tell.' Thank you for your Support.'

Dear Heidi, you capture the beauty and serenity of a snowy winter day with charming finesse. I especially adore your last verse, though all offer lovely imagery and feeling. I hope all is going well, my friend.. you’re in my thoughts. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I’m so sorry to know of your ordeal, Heidi. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you move forward with the necessary tests and the awful waiting for answers. Through it all, I know your lovely gifted pen will continue to flow..

Thank you so much Susan. I appreciate your comment. I am doing ok. But my eye is getting worse. I am having great difficulty seeing and pain from the inflammation behind it. I have an app that allows me to speak to text and email now. I have a regular doctor appt tomorrow and will have MRI referral and Neorologist appt. But the eye specialist out of state is the most important thing that i am waiting for appointment scheduling. The hospital said it has to be this week. I hope all is well. :)
