The Transmutation

The dust dappled panes of window glass shiver, in their winter finery of frost crystals. Elaborate patterns form, lace-like in their elegance; cloaking the everyday remnants of drearier days. And, as the morning sun rises higher in the cotton batten sky, the finery transmutes, tears form; streaking the dirty face of dawn.

Love this, the witnessing of a winter dawn through a window that changes appearance due to temperature and light. Terrific details, thought and flow. Michael

I agree with Sara, the last verse here is just beautiful - love that last line. :) Take care, Kristin

Breathtaking in the simplistic beauty....I love your naturistic ones.:) The last stanza left me speechless. I do intend to, as you said, enter your contest, but I will wait until maybe the last few days before, because I don't know what thought will strike me between now and then. I always wait, unless I know. Love, Sara
