On This Land

Baby blue skies met me this early morning, Still hanging onto the moon brightly above Snow covered the branches of trees near and far I stood on the solid, frozen ground, in quietness, Looking at everything painted white around me The remanence of night slowly drifted out of sight The sky turned yellow, as the sun lifted its face Shining golden, glorified color, everywhere to see On this peaceful quiet land, with sparkles abound --- A new day began --- Heidi Sands 12/10/17
