White Light



I look to the tree line
and see a pale grey cloud
being crushed by a dark grey cloud
holding back the chilling
white light of a Winter sky which threatens
to pierce my bones
should I not scurry from its sight
fast enough

Looking through some old papers, I found this little poem that I wrote about 10 years ago  --  Winter seems still to hold its sacred and threatening power

    SJ - Yes, here I am. And I'm glad you are too.

    Marco - Thanks for reading. I wrote this many years ago and I can still remember that sky as if I was looking at it right now.

    Hello there! Nice to see your post! I love your poem, and wanted to say that winter skies make me want to scurry away too. Wishing you sunshine and warm slants of light :)

    This makes me remember how grateful I am to live in a place that doesn't really have winter the way other places have winter. I don't know if my spirit would make it.

    I hope you are well.

    Hi Mel!! I'm so surprised that you still read me - but oh so pleased!

    Some very complicated things this past few months, but hopefully I am back to post and to read YOU.

    Thanks so much for the comment.


    Steph(anie) - You too, how wonderful that you are still there and watch for me. I've been so out of things that I haven't read anyone's blog for months and months - I'll look for yours and hope that you are writing too! Thanks for the comment, hope all is well with you too!

    Oh, sweet Jesus! You paid me a visit, thank you.

    Every day I think of writing and then every day I do something else.

    Yes, I will be back - soon I hope - especially if you read me.
