The winter sunlight
angles long and low
in the afternoon.
Reflecting and refracting
off wet and frozen landscapes,
the cataract shimmering of the sun
is the fire of diamonds.
The pure brilliance radiates,
blinding as the face of God.

Perfection is the name of this jewel, Lori. Very well executed.

Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward.

Wow! thanks for the stunning compliment! When I was first conceiving this piece (sans paper and 'puter in my car) There was a line or two in my head about rush hour squint *#!@#! light in my eyes! My original inspiration. I'm glad I edited that part out.

This gave me shivers of delight, dear Lori. It is indeed perfect. Will read it more than once for sure.

Love,

Best part for me Margherita was transforming the initial cursed part of being blinded into the joy of that sight which was blinding me.

Oops... My bad, Lori... thought this was written by Gale when I clicked on it. (No more for me!). Either way it's still a powerful piece. Loved it.
