Glaciers And Fijords in Olden, Norway 

- My Snowy Country -

                                     Blue hibernation tones
                                Frost shrunk the leaves curled
                              Frog that jumped into an icy pond
                                  burrowed deep into the earth
                                - even the shadow turned to ice
                             (alternative possibility for survival ) 

                            Love winter for those short moments,
                                      when the clouds break up
                                       and the sun's rays shine
                                          With my icy hands,
                                    I cling to the miracles of joy

Eileen Manassian November 22, 2024 at 3:15 AM Beautiful, dear Anne-Lise. Such an interesting choice of words in this piece. Nature knows how to deal with the extreme cold. We need to learn. Loved the ending of the Sun's smile. Hope the sun always shines and warms your heart.
