One Deep Forest Day

One deep forest day God looked down where snowfall lay. Rainbows plucked from sky He unbent. Then through dark trees. . . spears of radiance God sent. For Carolyn Devonshire's Forest Lights Poetry Contest

This is beautiful, Andrea! I can visualize "Rainbows plucked from sky" atop the snow.:) Thanks for the comment on Joe's write, he's been checking out the views!:) I was supposed to have written something along his lines, but for the life of me I didn't feel apt enough to write on the same subject. A wonderfully creative man, is Joe...I'm afraid I'm not doing him justice. Anyhow...best wishes, love, Mikki :)

We look for light in the darkest hour. Awaiting God to send a shower. Of sun warm rays to show the way. In the depth of our deep forest day. Good luck in the contest Andrea.
