snow – Rivers Renewed

Breathing in the Storm

And when I breathed in that storm I stood my ground

refusing to yield, refusing

the violence of it,

holding onto

my peace

determined to not let go,

until

I could move forward again.

Through the Trees Covered in Snow

My spirit unhindered now, I’m free

drifting through the trees

covered in snow,

closing my eyes

in silent prayer.

Wholeness.

Whispers of Peace

Whispers of peace coming from deep within,

realizing I can just be

who I was always

intended to be.

As the snow falls, on the pine trees

Amen.

In the Quiet of the Snowfall

In the thrill of winter’s breath and the quiet of the snowfall,

I listen for the healing of nature,

the wholeness

of my spirit,

believing both

are not far away.

Motivated, I reach.

In the Snowstorm

I drew down my hat a little further, and noticed the snowstorm was both beautiful and raging,

my own heartbeats were in my ears in the excitement of the wind,

and I took another step…..grateful

I was still standing.

The storm

gave me strength.

In the Beauty of Winter

In the beauty of winter, peace descends

as a fresh blanket

covering

even bark and stone,

with a softer tone

filling us

with a sense

of quiet

in our hearts.

Whispers of Snow

Whispers of snow quiet my spirit, so I let go of my burdens by releasing a prayer

and somehow, in looking out of my window,

I recognize this feeling….

the peace

I used to know.

Frozen Moon

Within the delicate balance of the night, that space between the grey

and the promised dawn, snow clouds reach out floating,

expecting the surrender

of the frozen moon.

The Earth Awakens

The Earth awakens, embracing the freshly fallen snow,

a sense of quiet

holding our poems

and prayers.

Merry Christmas

In the calm silence of Christmas morning,

I awaken

reflecting on all the beautiful gifts

already given,

and as I look out my window,

snowflakes begin to tumble,

so I whisper,

“God…..

you know how I love the snow…..”

Merry Christmas everyone!

From our house to yours, regardless of your faith may you be infused with peace, love and joy,

and carry a great sense of hope in your heart.

Amen.
