Snowflakes


This weekend gave us our first Winter's snow...



Snowflakes


.
.
.
.
Glistening gifts

Of ice and cold,
.
.
.

.
.
.
Whether in silence or storm,

Whether seen or scorned,

They descend, are given
.
.
.

.
.
.
As we bundle up

And hide ourselves

From their penetration.
.
.
.

.
.
.
Freeze time,

For just

A moment.
.
.
.


.
.
.
Give a glance ~

It's all the time

They have to give ~
.
.
.

.
.
.
And see the chiseled wonder

Of a single glint

In their Creator's sparkling eye
.
.
.

.
.
.
As He looks upon us

With showers of grace,
.
.
.

.
.
.
Of mercy's lace.
.
.
.

.
.
.
As time stills

I see the whisper

Of another Place.
