Northerly Thoughts

~ A feather falls, floating on this cool autumn breeze aimlessly spinning until it lands at my feet I look up and see two silhouettes against an azure backdrop happily flying towards the south, taking my thoughts north Where winter has embraced the landscape in fresh lavender roses ‘neath a crystalline frost glistening on pine tree branches, tickling fields once green And I smile knowing in this chilly place of blue moons and frigid sunrises waits my warmth - and it is you ~

- A feather means you've been visited by an angel, on your poetic journey my friend :) - If you had your thoughts going further north ... you would have seen Northern lights dance :) - A wonderful poem, Chris :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Lovely! And now I know you must be a painter! For how can you paint such imagery time after time after time...?
