One morning in the deep of winter
I awaken with the dawn
I look upon my window pane
dainty etchings, there are drawn.

Designs so intricate and fine
sparkle in the sun's bright glow
like a myriad of diamonds
decorating my window.

I gaze at these engravings
thinking at my chance and luck
for such splendor on this morning
makes me utterly awestruck.

My eyes dart over every inch,
beauty everywhere they fall.
What part of nature’s work of art
do I love most of all?

No decision can I make of this,
no judgment close at hand
for when I think my mind’s made up
I see another just as grand.

Then the revelation comes to me
I should have thought of it before
there’s not one small piece on it’s own
that I can say that I love more

Each fragment joins to make a whole
not one more splendid than another
just like the kind of love
that we share with each other

when you ask me what I love
more than anything, it’s true
there simply is no answer
for I love every part of you!

Poetry is an expression of feelings.  I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves.

I love the way you describe being enamored with winter's  beautiful iced etchings, and the sheer joy of seeing so many wondrous things of nature. And then to take these feelings to the realm of love for your special person...now that is truly poetic beauty.

All those wonderful pieces put together make the masterpiece.  Great write!
