Silent Snow (for deverse Snowed under, Iced in...)



Quiet earth
Beneath white silence

Pureness
Untainted by this world

How it makes one
Go inward
Feel the gentle stirrings
Of memory

Gratitude
For the warmth of shelter
Empathy for those without

Like a seventh day
All is still
We can almost hear
 The angels sigh.

  8. I like the idea about snow making one go inward. It definitely does take us down 'memory lane,' doesn't it?

  9. yes - that is something that surprises me every year again in a way - how snow silences the world and swallows all the sounds - so peaceful

  10. I love the thought of hearing angels sigh, if we are still enough... I too love the silence of the snow (at least until it starts to melt and drip, drip, drip...).
