Unforgiving, she leaves behind a bitter sting of cold to linger in her wake and she alone holds control to immobilize all that stands within her path..... She rules with a vengeance, raging... swift and sharp breath cutting to the core where even raw emotion cannot bleed.... Some, would call her frigid, but still..........she laughs...... Cold hearted, though she might seem, she can still bless the day with golden rays in her gentle persuasion reminding one and all, now in more subtle whispers she calls.... never underestimate what cannot be seen... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was here in the beginning, and shall be in the end, I can be your enemy or your friend... I am beauty, wisdom, and grace although you shall never see my face; you would know me by my name... I am a one, and only.... and still the same..... I am, I was, and always will be... never doubt the power that lies within me.... © Dmsmith "In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things." -Barbara Ann Kipfer |

I loved this poem. Expertly crafted and encompassing the myriad aspects of the earth mother. Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told. |

"swift and sharp breath cutting to the core where even raw emotion cannot bleed.... never underestimate what cannot be seen..." ...my favorite lines...and the ending segways so well into the second write |

Cold here too..... minus 24 yesterday morning. This is an excellent write and there's always beauty in that kind of power. Have to look for it and it appears. Eric |
