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.
