days of this sort of snow
begin purple to blue and grey out
to black and white.
the light is flat
but that doesn't mean
the world is.
it's a game
winter plays
on your eyes and your mind.
you have to work hard
to love it, most folks are tired
tired tired tired tired
of winter now.
not me.
i'm listening
and watching
and still skiing some
and little spring fed brooks
like this one
chuckle and sing.
i love snow.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, but what a fresh coat of snow will do for one's spirit! I guess one needs to be a winter person, though.
ReplyDeleteI've been quite enjoying the quiet snowfall today... not accumulating much, gray and overcast and just the thing for getting some cleaning and organizing done inside.
cannot quite imagine a white landscape for sooo long. in utah it was white for a bit and then melted back to brown. the mountains were white tho and beautiful, beautiful to look out to and the sky was as blue as it is here at home. the grey part would be difficult i think for one with an addiction to blue sky and sunshine.
ReplyDeleteyou find the beauty so well velma
india, yes, it's amazing
ReplyDeletevalerie, a little bit every day lately, keeps the ground well nourished and skiing good
roz, yes, sometimes the lack of blue skies is hard, we northerners think it makes us tough. HAH! sometimes we get blue blue and lots of snow and usually then it's really cold!
--I can almost hear you chuckling and singing BUT I can't believe we live on the same continent. I have just come in from 3 hours of garden clean-up!
ReplyDeletejean, it's a BIG continent! i could have done that...and removed 7 tons of snow!
ReplyDeletehave always wanted to live near water, for the sound, such a beautiful weird world we live in. we had our door open to sunshine today!
ReplyDeleteyou had a lovely day, then! grey here.
ReplyDeletethe chuckling brooks bring me through!
ReplyDeletechuckle is such an appropriate word for their voices--
ReplyDeletethe murmuring helmlocks and the chuckling brooks- longfellow-bolyard
ReplyDeleteneki, longfellow would like this little brook!
ReplyDeleteV- love the sketch marks that the twigs and branches appear to make in the blue snow. Brilliant. B
ReplyDeletebarry, there are so many kinds of white, even on overcast days!
