Poem Artwork

Before the diamonds are
scattered underfoot; before

the shouts of discovery;
before the treasure has been

melted into memory, 
I am awed by snow falling

wordlessly, silently ---- all
is covered in a mantle

of white.  All is stilled.  This must
be what it means to be rich.

(c) 2011, Karla Dorman (2/5)

When Nicole came from Australia in 2007, and we stepped outside the airport terminal, she said, "what! Did I just step in to a giant walk in freezer?" I said yes, then I told her, "and that white stuff on the ground isn't dandruff, it's snow." It doesn't snow below the snow line which is half way up in the mountains. It gets cold during their winter at night, but during their winter days, the temperature is like San Francisco.

I love to watch it snow, the pristine flakes hitting the ground, the deck, the chairs and table on the deck. Yes Karla, this is what it means to be rich, when you can enjoy the wonderful things mother nature for us. Thank you for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

KARLA ... WELL SAID.

But when the beautiful flakes are not few, and far between - when they are deep and endless, they are disastrous,

Beauty and Blizzards do not mix! Tom.

The treasure, Karla, is in the lines you've crafted...
diamonds scattered underfoot, melted into memory,
wordlessly silent. Almost makes me look forward to
the next snowfall. -gene.

Karla, you are rich as long as your mind allows your imagination to run wild. Your photo had me imagining the surface of the moon. Monetarily, nothing changed, but my peace and tranquility skyrocketed. Thanks Dick
