Winter's Display


Just as the soft snow fluttered around me in a breeze,
I only saw the beauty and forgot about the deep freeze
May beautiful winter scenes be noticed by people all around
The peace discovered in winter scenes can be so profound
Serenity is at your fingertips, sun shined icicles point at you
Dripping, melting, all in moments slipping by in a breath or two
Years ago it seems I just captured the gloom in a gray day
That was only by choice, there's so much in winter's display

I, too, used to dread winter...now I find a type of allure or magic in watching it unfold. Well done!

"Serenity is at your fingertips, sun shined icicles point at you Dripping, melting, all in moments slipping by in a breath or two" -- Love that! The magic of winter. I agree, it has its moments.

Hello Heidi, winter puts on a beautiful display with the snow. When the trees are coated with the snow it is beautiful. When it is freezing rain the trees are beautiful with the look of shining diamonds. Hugs. /Darlene/

Yes, I actually think winter brings the most beautiful scenes. Pure white, sparkling sights, pastel skies, snow covered trees, etc. Thank you. Hugs
