make of this bitter winter day,a container wild and sweet —
like a chalice carved in old wood
gift it with a song, one
woven of wind and tumbling snow —
breathe vibrant life within
hold it, oh so gently,
fluttering warm there in your hand —
then set it free to soar aloft
bow deeply to the day,
and embrace what it is telling you —
this is all there is

"...one woven of wind and tumbling snow..." brings images and sounds to mind, and an eagerness for our first snowfall this weekend!

Hi Cate,
Formidable! As always

Lovely words; lovely image. I hope someday you will put together a book of your words and images--perhaps with a focus on the winter season you teach us all to appreciate so much more.
That is just beautiful. Both the poem and the photo.
It created a moment of perfect balance in my heart.
