A hush upon a Winters dawn as silence deep and quiet still invades the corners of the earth and settles in the mind and heart beating ever softly with the gentle fall of snow covering the winters chill and branches bare of promised Springs gentle song of births renewed hope that ever sings the joy found in the heart this quiet morn of deepened silent snows remind to still the thoughts and ponder thus Gods ever present promised truth in the still small voice of His heard in silent Winters dawn. A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. [This message has been edited by ellie LeJeune (02-15-2003 09:08 PM).] |

I think all that haiku has really given you tons of practice capturing nature and learning to make beautiful descriptions, because every time I read your work I can just feel the scene. You've really got a rare talent for this kind of poetry, you know. My vote is cast. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

I'm not sure if I've had the opportunity to comment on this poem before, but I do love the flow... One can read your poem all the way through without need for pause. It flows perfectly from beginning to end leaving so many subliminally soft images behind on the mind to later ponder. God bless you my friend and hope to be reading your poem in the coming book. -Bob |

I love the winter. And thus, end up reading most any poem mentioning winter. ![]() Wish there was any hint of spring at all, though; I came home from California to the coldest week we've had in years. Brr. Loved the poem. remember the sound |
