Sky Sparkles
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
Snowflakes fall in slow descent,
From skies of heather blue.
Shimmering in the morning light,
~Sky sparkles in rainbow hue.

The filigrees of ice-limbed trees,
Are strokes of Nature’s brush.
All is still and so serene,
In mid of winter's hush.

A coverlet of mantle white,
Blankets our Mother Earth.
Warming Her thru’ winter months,
'Til blush of spring's rebirth.

Snowflakes fall in slow descent,
From skies of heather blue.
Shimmering in the morning light,
~Sky sparkles in rainbow hue.
+*+*+*+*+*+

Mornin' Linda!  Geez, it seems like winter happened over night.  The "filigree" silhouette you painted here is very vivid in my mind.  I can remember waking up to these kinds of mornings in Ohio years ago and thinking it was just like a fantasy world.  Much enjoyed this poem.  KBHBLY....lily jo

Earth Angel,

This is very wintry. It doesn't snow where I live and in fact, I haven't seen snow for almost 3 years now. This reminds me that I should get to those mountains this winter!

To be able to add some sparkle to Dr. Love's day, is a fine way for me to start my own!

Good morning, iliana!

My dear lily jo, it IS just like a "fantasy world". I'd miss the winter so much if I were to move south. Mind you, some winters seem a tad too long and I eagerly await the coming of spring!

Mucholovos,
Linda

May your day be one of joyous rapture!

Nancy ~

Dear Enchanting One, I give this wand to you to used for casting healing energy upon yourself every day. Mind you, I would imagine that you have many of your own, but there is something uniquely special about this one ~ especially since it is a gift from a kindred spirit.
