Description

Before the snow

Before the snow, 

the white frozen petals

from a hundred thousand skies, 

the wind had stopped, 

the earth was still, 

and the trees beckoned 

to the sun, 

beneath her frozen blue, 

her forever 

morning eyes, 

As time had, 

at that moment 

stopped,

the trees were stripped, 

bare of their leaves, 

left clutching 

at the clouded skies, 

for all was still, 

upon the frozen fields. 

And along the lanes 

and pathways, 

that led 

to this holy place, 

the wind 

became hushed 

and silent,

honoring the spires 

and bells of grace.

And so,

as silence spread, 

across 

the honeyed lands, 

the chimes 

in amethyst lights, 

in diamonds 

along the hidden pools 

and tumbling streams 

and sands. 

waterfalls gleamed 

upon the stars

of winter

over her crystal bridges, 

her glass towers,

snatched from 

heavens  

and dreams

above,

for the snow began

to fall,

and the earth 

became quick

and silver

and in the sky,

fell feathers of light,

shaped in the wings

of doves.
