  Crystal Mountain Snow

As a quavering chorus of
  frosty bells
mark this twilight hour
for the dimming village
  far below;
and one by one cold-fire
  stars egress,
the winter-bright moon
hangs frozen in a limpid
  cosmic dream,
to enchant the spirit
and enlighten the mind,
with a thousand moonbeams
shadow-dancing through
the barren trees and
Crystal Mountain snow.

"a thousand moonbeams

the barren trees"
Your words bring the scene clearly into focus, as if it were a Hasselblad image. Take a bow, Bruce.

Secondhanddreampoet,

This is another nice winter poem. It hasn't snowed much here in the city this year. We are hoping for the best though. We're all looking forward to a big snowball war in the playground.

This write perfectly encapsulates a special moment in a sacred place.

Bruce, I have so missed these wonderful scenes through the window of my laptop that you so vividly paint....
