dreaming beneath soft falling snow
in early dawn red rooster crows
on wide wings mysteries unfurl
awakening to a shifting world
creating angels in fields of white
synchronicity with the hawk's flight
watching snowflakes flutter & swirl
awakening to a shifting world
behold a vision of nature's steeples
chanting songs of hope for all people
embracing light, dreams dew-pearled
awakening to a shifting world

You have painted something stunningly beautiful and imbued it with a lovely tranquility ... and hope. A wonderful place to linger, for a bit.
ReplyDeleteNo one creates dreamlike images quite like you do, Truedessa. Creating angels in fields of white brings back memories of my childhood. I wonder if children create snow angels anymore....sigh.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they do Mary, but I saw a football player make one in the snow today during a game. It made me smile watching that big guy in his uniform making a snow angel.
DeleteFootball player snow angel? That makes me smile too. :)
DeleteThis was beautiful, Tru.
There was a game in Buffalo NY that was played in white out conditions, some Buffalo players made snow angels in the field after they won. I will see if I can find a clip and post it. Truly inspiring!
DeleteMaking snow angels. Is there a more innocent joy.
ReplyDeleteSnowed here this weekend. The fields look like iced oatmeal cookies.
I hope all those people find that hope.
The purity and beauty of a snowfall makes the world all new. I wish it could do that to humans, too, smiles. Maybe in a way, it does.
ReplyDeleteEnchantments waking up slowly to 'a shifting world'. Such a beautiful sketch of winter!
ReplyDeleteLuv the dawn setting so much promise is implied and the serenity with wich to start anew. This enchanting Trudessa

The measure of helplessness may not be all encompassing with hope hovering in the distance. Beautiful shot True!

Just to shift the world in the right direction could be a dream of many indeed. Hope through the darkness.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with repetition... a kind of magic that suggests that the repeated words are completely necessary and different every time. I love that... as much as I love crafting spark-filled angels as the earth awakens...
ReplyDeleteI have just been thoroughly enchanted.
ReplyDeleteAs always, wonderfully delicate imagery.
ReplyDeleteAs always, your imagery is fantastic. Reminds me of being in the woods after snowfall. There's something serene about that crisp cold, white snow, and those towering trees. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful "word pictures" that take us to that place of calm and serenity. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Truedessa - I loved this ... it was inspirational - as I await my first Canadian snow flurries before the flakes set in and cover us - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful poem reminded me of one Easter morning, before dawn, when some friends and I climbed a mountain and sat, meditating on its slopes, waiting for the sun to rise.........it was the only time in meditation that I actually lifted off. I could see, with eyes closed, the world from far above. I saw the blue and green, and lights shooting up - and I knew that all over the world, other people were meditating and praying, too. Somehow I knew that those lights were the prayers of the people......everyone praying for peace. I hope they are praying now.
