Winter Rhapsody

Winter though harsh and frigid holds a certain beauty Ice frozen fingers grasp hold of my soul Nothing is more exquisite than pristine snow falling Today graceful, fragile snowflakes are drifting Everything is white, fresh, pure and flawless Rivers are ice covered, dense and firm Rhapsody is the song of the winter birds Hopping on bare branches to sing All is still and surreal in my snowy world Perhaps, I will go for a walk . . . Something is calling deeply to my very soul Outside is God's perfection it says Deep under the snow life is waiting to renew Yet, this frozen world holds a certain beauty for me ___________________________ December 14, 2012 Poetry/Acrostic/Winter Rhapsody Copyright Protected, ID 12-442-801-14 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France

I like the last stanza. Nature, indeed, recycles beauty. Beauty above and beauty below waiting to spring upward. Enjoyed your winter wonderland.

Nicely penned Constance - this morning we have a little snow on the ground so this piece is more appropriate and reminds me to feed my chickadees =)

Dear Constance, Dear Heart, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit. I am in full agreement With this exquisite Pen YOU should have seen Winter come in on the Mountain, watch the snowflakes racing to the village below LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry
