The Window of my Soul All living things respect the winter storm Bowing down in reverence to its power Submitting to the bitterness it brings Politely waiting springtime's golden flower Crisp and deadened leaves of autumn past Swirl around in cold December breeze Barren dogwood there in humble stance Remains in meek surrender to the freeze Powdered woven lace upon the grass Succumbs to melt in morning's warming rays But creatures ready for a thicker coat A coverlet of crystal winter days Sycamore in noble posture stands Branches braced in sure and stiffened bold Lush dark leaf of evergreen encurls As rhododendron curtsies to the cold Holly is the only unafraid Showing off its branch with crimson hand Gloating in its beauty to the wind Calling out for cardinal to land And I sit by the window of my soul Watching all the splendor to unfold Marveling at nature's swift defense Of the impending January cold Elizabeth Santos |

This is really gorgeous Liz.....one of my many favorites that you've written A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! Shannon |

Beautiful! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
