A brisk
winter morning
spent
seeking the Fab Five
before
duty called me to leave
such a
wonderous sight
only to
discover there was more.
I stood
surveying the skies
checking
off the list of Mercury
so
dimitiive under the brightness
of Venus
that held her own
beneath
Saturn, then followed its
brillance
upward to Mars diminishing
in the
dawn light while Jupiter
was
still bright in the heavens.
The more
was the gentle falling of frost,
ice
crystals softly and silently fell
on to
the earth; naked branches
soon
glistened, ground snow was
became a
carpet of crystals,
and I inhaled natures magic...
Yes, nature's magic..... Michelle
ReplyDeleteThere are those who grumble and there are those who shrug and smile. We're the latter :)
DeleteOh I do a far bit of grumbling, but mostly toward other humans who mess with nature...
DeleteI had a wood duck hen calling from the open section of the pond today. I went out with some pellets for the mallards and up on the lawn with them. Woody ducks are so shy. I could't believe it, but this is not the first time I think she has called me...She used her Momma duck call voice which is loud for this tiny duck.... Strange...Michelle
Wood ducks are absolutely stunning ! You are blessed Michelle, she knew your soul. I'm a firm believer in the connection. I had a mouse appear in the kitchen one morning. I ummm, talked to it, basically saying "this house ain't for the two of us". It disappeared and haven't seen it in weeks :) They know.
