Winter Walking
                                                  

I walked the line of ermine,
alive with drifting snow,
crystal evanescence
prismatic in the glow,
waning winter sunset
painting pine and fir,
diamonds cast asunder
dancing in the air.

Ahead I saw a cabin,
adorned in hunter green,
ivory and crimson
hung from bough and beam,
and through each lighted portal
rang tidings of good cheer,
triumphantly announcing
the saviors day is near.

Is this heaven?

shoeless Joe Jackson.

Dear Olias,
I am so happy to have discovered your wonderful winter poem. You really caught the magical atmosphere.
I know you posted this in the right place, but I fear few pipsters get ever in here.
Hopefully some others will read this and enjoy it as I did.
Merry Christmas!

Love and peace.
Margherita

When winter opens its heart to go hand in hand with the festive season, a walk in the fresh snow always brings a warmth of Christmas Magic

Enjoyed
