The color of springtime is in the flowers; the color of winter is in the imagination.
~Terri Guillemets
Winter's paradox is a dazzling dame in chiffon so white
with supple lips of silence and sparkling yet peircing eyes.
Her graceful beauty is a fascination for all who long to see
yet when the cold winds blow she is as harsh as she can be.
Her hair flows like a flurry her skin soft like sheets of snow.
She has a polished elegance that we all wish we could know.
Her graceful beauty is a fascination for all who long to see
yet when the cold winds blow she is as harsh as she can be.
She glides like dancing snowflakes and has tenure where she lay.
Her awe becomes beguiling when we hope that she might stay,
for her graceful beauty is a fascination for all who long to see
yet when the cold winds blow she is as harsh as she can be.
smiles...nice...there are the contrasts of winter for sure....love the snow, the pristine fields of snow the way it dances and sparkles....but it can def be cold...smiles.

Love the line of tenure where she lay.
Lovely and fitting description, Carrie
Thank you Rick, I hope that this woman did not break your heart too badly. :-)
DeleteYou created a beautiful picture of what many saw differently. You saw it pure white dazzling and sparkling but not drab or cold as many would have done so! Great Carrie!
