A cold silent winter morn
Silver skies awaken the mist of dawn
A lonely crow calls out, breaking the stillness
Waking nature from its slumber
As the evening darkness changes into a somber day
Reminding us winter is spring ready to be born again.
Beautiful–you have a wonderful way with words. We need reminders that winter is spring ready to be reborn again.
Thank you Sheryl – as you know this area (actually many places in our beautiful country) inspires us!
Only beautiful Blogger and soul can live there!
Bless you!
I like the optimism of your poem. I believe every season has its own gift to mankind especially when we believe in the God of all seasons.
Thank you.
I love winter. We had a ‘slight’ snow yesterday. The flurries were beautiful as they fell, so clean and pure. Of course it froze last night and will be slick before the morning commute. Your photographs are exquisite. You’ve captured the essence of a winter morning in just about every place I’ve ever lived.
Thank you Sheri… The second picture I experimented with my new photo shop, but hardly touched it up and the lone tree I only softened and the other two is “as is”, it was a beautiful morning.
Winter is Spring, ready to be born again… I love that line!
Thank you Diane.
Love the contrast of the crow and snow. Black against white, noise against stillness…great!
thank you! nature has a way of inspiring us!
I love the promise that Winter is Spring, ready to be born again. That line is so full of hope and expectaction.
thank you – winter always makes me feel this way.
Beautiful blue tones on the images…
Thank you – I was experimenting with the second photo with my new photo shop and was pleasantly surprised with the result.
I thought the poem along with the pictures…was really good….Diane
Thank you – I love these types of mornings. I just grabbed my little camera and started to shoot.
Beautiful poem.
A poem! At least that is how I read it…and the photos… Truly a wonderful effort!
Thanks,I just let my fingers do the walking!
It is fun to express myself in words and so freeing.
I love these photos of winter branches against the skies – beautiful! I love tour very apt words too. Thank you for the reminder that Spring will come. It is so grey here…..
Although I love all the seasons I love the foggy cold quiet winter mornings, I was told that is my Scottish background coming out in me! I think I would like England and Scotland because of the weather. Call me crazy many do!! LOL
The poem and photos are so lovely together! I love the line “winter is spring ready to be born again”.
