Sun's Diamonds

A bitter cold cuts through the bone Piercing to the marrow Rain sounds like ice pellets echo_ 'Pon each brown leaf an arrow Then a few days after the rain Jack's 'oar's frost bright white lies 'Pon hill and valley thick as ice Sun's diamonds glistening prize A cold northeasterly wind blows Stirring the tingling chimes As Jack's 'oar's frost settles 'pon ground A clear sun reflects gold lines Deep is the valley; high the hill I've climbed up and raced down Only short stops atop the peak There great joy I have found In the valleys lessons I've learned Deep truths that now sustained Those mountain top experiences Are most times unexplained Finis'
