The healing snow...


The Healing Snow

Bits of tissue
torn by the fingers
of weeping angels
silently blankets earth

(Did that come easy or did you work it a lot?)

That type of snow - heavy, bordering on rain - always reminds me of bits of torn tissue...and yesterday I followed that thought through and figured if there was torn tissue coming from the sky, it had to be from heaven and there was this little poem.

Truth be told, I worked on it for about 35 minutes...and that was because of the word "by" in the second line...I changed that sooo many times before I settled on it.

Love this imagery. I've never thought of snow this way before. Makes me like it better.

Found you through Jannie :-)

Hi, Pink Ink (great name, by the way)

Thank you. I have a love/hate relationship with the white stuff myself.

Thank you for stopping in.
