In Place Of Leaves


Upon branches of barren trees
Snowflakes held in place of leaves
Shadow, light and wind, the snow does hold
Sparkling mounds and falling flakes to behold
The faint song of wind upon chime
Heralds a welcome melody to Winter's time.

Brian, that first snow of winter - so like a first love - I'll let you fill in the rest... I can almost hear your words... Much love, Rose Marie

HI ROSEMARIE_

I love the vulnerability of the image and the blend of your words - I feel the stillness and the sounds of the silent cold - the crystal sheen of ice and the peace of gray-blue all around. I can be my own artist designing my world as I need which can either escape or enforce my reality - perhaps both.

Love to you
Gail
peace.....

Gail, Your descriptive is indeed one of an artist. What we create in many ways defines our reality. Even the thoughts and perceptions we identify with influence how we ultimately experience our individual and collective lives. To be at "cause" rather than "effect" serves our greatest purposes.

You are loved dear friend and thanked for all you so lovingly reveal.

Best always,

Rose Marie
