Snow Flowers I study flowers grow in snow What power makes their petals glow? How can they live a freezing wake? A cold that makes my body ache I see them paint the mountain side They rise above the snow in pride Challenging the sky of blue With amber and a purple view They lay a shroud below the mist The promise of a life’s exist Inspire me a mental sew A thing that I would really know What secret did they find in strife? To build upon and make a life And this without a brain of source To navigate a faulty course I study flowers grow in snow How do they live I’d like to know? |

"I study flowers grow in snow How do they live I’d like to know?" Methinks perhaps they might be snowdrops? Lovely morning read Sy! ~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~ In the midst of winter, |

To build upon and make a life And this without a brain of source To navigate a faulty course I study flowers grow in snow How do they live I’d like to know? ----------------------------- Beause Mother Nature gives them furry boots to wear upon their floral footsy roots.  I see them paint the mountain side They rise above the snow in pride Challenging the sky of blue With amber and a purple view love the imagery in this Sy-babers... we have 2 inches of the pretty white stuff this morn, yet they say its supposed to be nearly 60 tomorrow...LOL...mother nature is such a hoot. *ww*  |

little fragile flowers i think not laughing at the humans shiver in their homes watching at windows, fearing the white stuff |

Sy I'd love to see them. Adaptability is amazing in some things, as is resilience. I loved your poem...and your heart too! |

Good afternoon Sy ... it is snowing hard here in the mountains and I see no flowers but the ones in your heart. It is so cold and snowy up here I wonder how anything survives. Me thinks Mother Nature wraps everything in fleece in the fall! hugs, Marti A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows. |

They grow nourished by the same love that flows from your words as you embrace their beauty...the inner vision of your heart has the same kind of beauty that we see reflected in your words...Wonderful writing... |

What secret did they find in strife? To build upon and make a life very well said, Sey! the snow flowers could really teach us a lesson in surviving in the midst of hardships...I really enjoyed your snow flowers...too bad i have never seen snow flowers, or even snow for that matter! (but for a while you made me see them)  |
