Winter Blossom

Nature's promise found in the snow. (Form: Free Verse) A Verdant Poetry Entry

Winter Blossom


Cold light sifts through gossamer air.
Cupped within nature's glowing hands,
bathed in shades of argent

silver; silvery white

color,
gentle prayers for tomorrow float
in the quiet perfumed stillness.

Ignoring the harshness that breathes
at their door, instinct replaces
thought as tiny florets seek dreams
of candent

glowing with heat; being at a white heat

possibilities.

I find strength in blossoming hope
as my heart waits for Spring's warm touch.
