Watching the filled sky, Ice winds brushing clouds away, Discerning mine eye. I can see all the cliffs and precipice Draped with misty veils of promise of snow, The eagle flies from mountain peak and away, Pausing to circle in a thermal twice, Then drifts off to where he wanted to go. Now the winter comes this December day, Snow too heavy fills the afternoon view, Till all color is brought down to only two, Black of where shadows dwell and snowy white, Sensory chaos lasting through the night. Thoughts drift on memories of life’s journey With all the places, lost lovers and friends, Pains of what I’ve done and been done to me, With the coming dawn the snowy rage ends. Watching the filled sky, Ice winds brushing clouds away, Discerning mind’s eye. Gloom |

Watching the filled sky, Ice winds brushing clouds away, Discerning mine eye. Viewing clearing skies Icy winds bringing forth new Feeling the crisp air Refreshing your thoughts Anticipating with eyes What lies within mind... hmmmmmmm don't ask..*s ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Gloom, what a picture, what a write kept me crying half the night made me yearn again for snow with eagles wings, to lead me so made me wish for peaceful times made me desire gentler climes and as I read I saw the grace pictured there upon your face It helped my spirit start to soar and made me yearn for home once more that's not the homeland of my birth I yearned for home beyond the earth with your write I saw God's face it left me in a gentler place thank-you for this poetry gift that helped to heal a heartfelt rift.
