Alone I sit staring at the cold grey sky All around winter's handiwork so silent so beautiful fills the land
Drifting lazily upwards pillars of smoke rise ghost-like from the chimneys On the ground below the freshly fallen snow so quiet, so fragile instils deep peace within my soul
Standing alone in the distance a church steeple points majestically towards the sky in silent testimony of its God
Nothing stirs - the sparrows have gone to bed this cold winter's evening dreaming pleasant dreams of tomorrow's spring when new life will take form in Nature's world or perhaps they dream of yesterday's summer when they flitted happily from tree to tree dancing in the sunshine so happy to be alive and free
Yet dream on my little friends cold winter must reign a little while longer still blessing the earth with her deep silent beauty --- as now the snow begins to fall once more
A beautiful, heartfelt write. I felt I was drifting somehow as I read this. I have had such moments as you describe here, but never attempted to capture them with words. Blessed be and have a wonderful holiday and thank you for the post. Celtic
Hi, socrates44, ...cold winter must reign a little while longer still blessing the earth with her deep silent beauty… I will try to hold onto this image of winter's handiwork as NE braces itself for Winter's Silent Beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Celtic, thank you for your comment. I am happy that my poem evoked such feelings in you. Perhaps you can capture such moments in a poem of your own and share it with others. Have a pleasant day!
