Notes About The Poem

Winter Divinity

First snow on tree tops,
Canadian pristine . . .
Nature's own beauty
Of spirit supreme.

Cascading waters
Of crystal clear birth
Instill serene pleasure
From heaven to earth.

As the lake mirrors mountains
And deep azure sky,
We commune together,
My God and I.

Love this, Connie. Yes, the beauty of the world He gave does transport us into his presence, and cause us to worship.

Snow storms are another story, watching the news, I really feel for folks struck by the storms. But fresh fallen snow in sunny weather is heavenly. Thanks very much Cona. Blessings, Connie

There is a feeling of solitude and divinity in the winter, and you captured it very well. God's voice seems all the clearer away from the noises of the city.
