~*~ Windswept clouds thin the air like angel hair. High above the aspen summit snow flurries fall from the sky draping the forest in sweet cream and pale moonlight. Lone pines and noble firs stand up to the storm scented candles burn reminding me of the essence of you. Bold strokes of lightening streak strobes flash on a dark stage of silent nights. Unsettled drifts shiver the storm bursting with tears. Hard pressed against the pane of stain glass windows the sound of sleigh bells carry in the distance. A chimney smokes of cedar wood figure eights and heart shapes etched on a frozen lake are the silver lining sewn into the warmth of down peppermint tea steeps greeting the dawn with a half smile steaming in the morning sun. ~*~ |

WoW! You had it all in this amazingly well-written poem of the season, BluesSerenade. Anyone who can read this gem and not feel the coldness of the snowflakes or behold the moon so aptly described, never mind smell that beautiful aroma chimney smoke from cedar is completely within themselves and not of this world. GREAT stuff. |

Hey Blues You're superb with this one.....I love all the nature images and the cedar smoke smell. Peaceful reflections and when that man comes back with his essence I know he's in for a treat!! Eric |

Lori - This is absolutely wonderful - yes, a winter wonderland for sure but it is, of course, only so because of how you describe it. Great stuff, Bluesy gal! Helen |

Blues, You have a beautiful smile and it is visible in your writing as well. Silver linings are like that...and one is just aware of the inner glow. What a lovely write to read this morning as your words cascade down the page so splendidly! |
