Snow

Unique patterns
Fluttering down from above
In winter’s beauty

Winter’s Beauty

Snow blankets the earth
Breath a faint mist in the air
Such silent beauty




I had to write something winter like.. It's been in the 70's last week.. !  I live in Pennsylvaina.. this just is not natural..lol.

(kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet Tara! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

one of the things that's ever so entertaining about Houston weather is it's maddening inconsistency. It's 85, it's 85, it's 85, it's 40; it's 80, it's 80, it's 80, it's 30. we're all alternating between shorts and parkas this year. gotta love it.
but:
if there's anyone who's having NORMAL WINTER this year, these poems seem like they clearly capture the good, pretty side of winter. beautiful, my dear.
sooner or later i'll probably write something about winter myself.
mine won't be quite as nice, though.
as usual, your ability to say so much with so little, (something i clearly lack) dazzles me, my dear. amazing.

T! I forgot to tell you! We got snow lastnite for the first time this year! It is still here somewhat but what a beautiful sight! HUGS your words were like what I pictured lastnite as I soaked in the falling flakes, so gentle, so angelic.  
HUGS!
