As above
So below
The snow falls
Silently and Steadily.
–
Icy gems of water
Each unique in their
Pattern and design.
–
Sky opens and cold
Takes shape and form
As the breath of the winds
And all of nature shakes
A frosty hand commanding
Our attention.
–
For this brief space
Of time all slows
In its usual frantic
Pace and looks
Outward marveling
At the beauty.
–
Ground of manifest earth
Is garbed in sky’s mystery
And silence falls heavy
And full in its profound
Beauty.
–
As above
So below
I await the
Outpouring of
Each unique gem
Of space and time
Held in the cold.
–
I open to the
Profound stillness
And find myself garbed
In the product of
Heaven’s downpour
–
Each word heard
Each face met
Each teaching found
Unique in its beauty.
This is a magical poem about the beauty and crystalline stillness of a winter snow. Your descriptions were delicate and ethereal, and especially liked your descriptions of “icy gems of water, each unique in their pattern and design.” Very well done!
