Snow Day

It snowed last night, covering the earth with a thin blanket of white.  This morning, as I visited my blogger buds, it started snowing–slowly at first.

Soon the intensity increased.  I tried to capture the moment with image and with verse.

Lazy snow flakes,
Hover in air.
Iā€™m whisked away,
I have no care.

Earth like a bride,
Awaits her groom.
I see heaven,
Outside my room.

As I finish this, the snowfall has ceased.  Have you noticed how quickly the magic of a moment can fade?  Stay alert for the moments and savor them while they tarry.  Even though they be fleeting.

  1. –savor the moments. Yes, which is precisely why I drank in the beauty of a sunny, 77 degree day. It may not be repeated tomorrow!
    Since you so enjoyed the snow that you waxed poetic, we were both delighted with our day.

  2. No snow here, only frozen mud and brown earth. Ugh. I love new snow–please send us some.

  3. We are getting tired of snow. We have not seen bare ground since the middle of November. It's time for a melt and warmer temperature.

    I think we are crabby goats today.
    heh

  4. That's the theme for 2011 in my life…. be present in every moment! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and your verse. You have encouraged me. šŸ™‚

    Blessings,
