Souls Like Crystal Snowflakes Just a few short hours ago, During midnight it chanced to snow And early, around 3:00 a.m. or so, I awoke to a glisten of glow. There was no sound, no apparent life, As only in a fairy tale’s dream, Imagine souls like crystal snowflakes, Come to dance upon my scene. For there was a sparkle all around And lo, over the land covered white, The skies had cleared and the moon abound, Snowflake souls and I, alone in this night. For each flake was a spirit of one Before it joined its companions white And like my world, they all joined in United, to make things ensue just right. So may souls like crystal snowflakes Thrive round you this year; And keep in mind during summer; Rainbows will keep them here. ©KRJ 11 January 2000 revised 19 January 2002 |

You depict a scene I can only dream of but the soul part I understand very well. A sensitive write. |

Unfortunately winter has set his jaw once again in my parts, but poems like this take much away from his sting. Lovely write, Karilea. Billy 8) |

I love winter in PA if it only snowed on the trees and in the woods rather than on the roads and sidewalks...I love snow, just not walking or driving in it, I'm sure I'll see more than my share of snowflakes before the winter is through |

mmm...I'm ready for the snow although I don't like the drive...well that is, depending on if I'm on tour in it driving the mountains, or if I'm dealing with the highway! Love this |

"For there was a sparkle all around And lo, over the land covered white, The skies had cleared and the moon abound, Snowflake souls and I, alone in this night." The first snowfall each year is great, it's just every one after that I hate... |

“For each flake was a spirit of one Before it joined its companions white And like my world, they all joined in United, to make things ensue just right.” This paints a perfect picture of thoughts, sight, and sound. Has a “once in a lifetime” vision. Enjoyed the tranquil mood. JL |

Karilea I have never experienced falling snow as we don't have snow here in Winter where I live but your words took me there, and left me feeling at peace. Take care..........Sue I am in motion |
