The stillness of a landscape draped in the silence of an early morning snow...
The sky and earth blend in shades of white
Bringing all that I can see from my window into uniform serenity.
A snow-covered world is a balm that penetrates bone and marrow, soul and spirit.
My soul is set free in quiet song. It brings to us a time of rest.
Lay down the great burden of hurried life and step lightly onto the stage.
The room is silent, empty.
Laugh and cry; dance. Unveil the depths within.

It is time to be set free.

This is beautiful, Jean. Is it an original poem?
Oh, for some snow in Southern CA! We are thinking about taking a little vacation in the mountains this winter. The kids will go crazy with glee when they see snow for the first time. :-)
What fun to have comments :-).
The poem is mine.

This is your poem? Oh, it is lovely. I especially like, "Lay down the great burden of hurried life and step lightly onto the stage. The room is silent, empty. Laugh and cry; dance. Unveil the depths within. It is time to be set free." You're speaking my heart, Jean. Many, many thanks.

You are all so kind. I'm glad you came to visit!

Jean- in reading the poem, we may have to reformat it (if that won't destroy the flow!) to fit it above. You can email me if the one I posted tonight on the board doesn't work.
This is a beautiful blog! I'm so glad you've joined the blogosphere!
