Brightness Catches My Eye

Tall, gray, trees stand together like statues Across the winter’s landscape of hills Some snow still clings to the arms of branches Reaching wide, reaching far and wide! Today, there is no wind in this still life view Of land, rocks, and trees to dark blue mountains A strip of pale light is shining across the horizon Distant treetops seem to be touching it beneath the gray Yet, the white of the snow, is brighter than anything! Anything, from this hill to the far mountains Anything from the frozen ground to the open sky And brighter than everything that catches my eye! Bright enough to spark ideas Bright enough to awaken dreams Brighter than all the gray deterrents Brighter than everything that catches my eye! Heidi Sands 1/19/22 POTD 1/21/22
