Snow Bound I wonder if snow is quiet like cat paws on roof peaks? I have never listened to snow. I imagine that in the silence of night the artist paints the grass white and dresses all the trees like brides. The morning paper, an intruder slithering a defying line across the yard would rest just out of reach. You would wear your robe and barefoot gallantly numb your toes to place the paper on the bed then find the warm place still, and I would bring you hot coffee and toast and jam and wiggle you warm while outside stormed. I wonder if snow is quiet like cat paws on roof peaks? |

   "I have never listened to snow. I imagine that in the silence of night the artist paints the grass white and dresses all the trees like brides." (smiles) Oooohhhhhhh...I love the snow, this was my favorite line but I loved everything about it! Every morning when it snows, my dad asks me to go get the paper, and it is so delightful to see the trees dressed like wedding dresses and the icicles hang like church bells! (kiss on cheek) This is breathakingly beautiful, sweet friend, I think snow actually has its own unique melody, like all other gorgeous gifts of life! We all love you so much, sweet friend, I LOVE IT!!! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh Martie, you describe her beautifully, and yes she whispers, but I have to tell you that she sure must be crying. In Vancouver today, her snowflakes have us all enraptured with her beauty and housebound. What a lovely poem. <font face="monotype corsiva">~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

Some snow ~ quiet droppings of angel's feathers ~ leave behind a warm feeling; there are times a snow flake tinkles in chiming resound, letting you know "here I am, seek me for the moment, while I refresh your spirit!" and melts away on your nose... refreshing your spirit in magic; then there is snow that skiffs along inviting spring to come again; a merry dance to greet May... then there is Martie's snow, silent cat's paws on a white roof... |
