river capped with ice
arm in arm couples skating
love ripples the air

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

(smiles) Yay! Awwwwwwwww, I used to live right beside a greenway growing up most of my childhood, dearest friend, and always got to see the majestic reflection of silver linings speckling the frozen ravine, yay! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Grey Ice speaks to me of winters I once knew and still remember in my nostrils ... and in the heart.

Beautiful, dear Chris!

Amazing photo and Haiku, Chris!  I remember skating on our pond when it froze.  Sometimes the ice was super, other times, the ice was a measly mess with bumps everywhere!  This brought back childhood memories!  Thanks!

Thankyou misc. This is a pic of our river. When there is a dramatic freeze...the little waves of ice make everyone take a second look. Hugs!!
