Glistening Silver

Glistening Silver Glistening silver on water’s edge like thousands of diamonds for my hair - Snow covered mountains hide summer flowers of purple, pink and gold while black bear and deer search for left over apples from October’s harvest. Ellijay is crisp and cleaned to perfection by nature’s wind and cold - The cows hide inside the old, red barn up the hill. Hickory trees barren of fruit, yet a lone woodpecker flits back and forth looking - searching for substance from the thick bark only it can penetrate. My prayer for snow covered mountains has been answered. Seventeen years of Florida sun has scorched my throat and mind. I wanted to see New York snow in North West Georgia - One full Sunday of snow falling for my eyes to fill in the glorious beauty of winter’s wonder.
