Awakening Purple sky with painted streaks of rose on dawning’s brim Enhance a sycamore’s silhouette crocheted of branch and limb With knuckles bent and fingers reaching skyward and afar One fine tipped branch, with finger posed, points out the morning star In naked stance the tree, unveiled, stripped of its summer dress At last reveals the wonder of its secret hidden nests In branches high above the ground, in folds of praying hand Where architects with bushytails survey their bordered land It’s never known where creatures hide until December snows Engrave their every footprint and uncover secret troves I awakened to a web of branches on a purple sky With summer home of furry friends revealed to a sleepy eye Elizabeth Santos |

Isn't it amazing how much more something like this comes to life when it is soooooo cold outside? Lovely image Liz.  There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

*sigh* I love so much that the snow and winter have to offer but the cold just makes me shiver.  I look forward to the spring when all nature wakes from the slumber of winter. **big hugs** I love this poem. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
