~~~
The sky wore
a suit of
grey flannel
to-day.
Clouds heavy laden
with snow
without wind
crawled their way.
Over the river
frozen in time.
It's shoreline
a necklace of
artistry sublime.
Over the trees
now just stick people
sketches.
Stiff, licorice
telephone wire,
and the voices
it catches.
Like drab,
bloated pillows,
as day becomes
night,
the clouds
an ashen
backdrop
for geese
in their flight.
From invisible pockets
lace confetti
is shaken.
Sugar coating
the earth -
Gift for
our eyes
when we
waken.

~~~

SweetChris~
You make grey such a lovely word-color~

My day is gray without the threat of snow,
but ominous storm clouds buffet about ...
rainy, rainy~

*Huglets*

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

LOL! (angel friendship hugs) Yay, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
