Winter Blooms



Yesterday,
the wild flower stalks
stood stiffly tall
covered with seed heads
and brittle brown leaves.

Overnight,
snow blossoms hang heavy
on stems that bow
and touch the earth,
weighed down by purity.

A lovely insightful thought, Judith, thank you. "... snow blossoms hang heavy
on stems that bow
and touch the earth,
weighed down by purity."

Blessed are the poor in spirit ... the meek ... the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Humility, gentleness, and pureness of heart. These belong to the Kingdom Life -- the blessed and honourable estate.

Thanks Peter for your insightful comments. May you, May and your family have a blessed New Year. (I think I have your wife's name correct, if not, please forgive me.)
