Sunday it is... ONE

ONE

snow covered ground sparkles bright

from the warming sun and brilliant light

a chilled morning with skies of lambent blue

such be this gift of grace bestowed to you

feel the touch of time and countless days to come

know with faith and joy the blessings of the ONE.

Sunday in January ~ here in Tappan, New York

...this very midnight hour...Swept By The Winds

awakened by the winds and the chimes that sing
chilled by the cold this night does bring
snow in mounds yet pure, untouched and white
swept by the winds in swirling flight
winter's call known and heed I it well
each snow crystal to sparkle and beauty to dwell.
