Winter Sky

 

In winter's silence, the snow falls sweeping over the landscape
of gray, white and silver hues. The wind begins to howl as the
tall pines sway to the crackling hymn of the day.  I close my
eyes drifting between sleep and wakefulness.  Seeking a place
of refuge from the harshness outside.  The plow rumbles  by
disturbing the waves of winter tide.  I escape into the sands
of a dream.

Rising, in the twilight hours, the storm has passed.  The sky
whispers of promise in brilliant colors of pink, orange, yellow
and violet.  Snow blankets the hardened earth. There is peace
after the storm.
