  “Winter Moments” ~ part one


 


within the snow


shadows like puddles


filling the footprints


deep shades of blue


tempting twilight


 


 


winter winds moaning


old bones creaking


in this lonely park


my only companion


a solitary bird


 


 


twirling snow


like shy maidens


dressed in white


dance around the fountain


catching winter

Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. Your winter painting is not all white; its colors are those of emotion and desire, and they come through with the chill of spine tingling. Good stuff, here. - Bill

...reflections seen...of flight...within lifes transition...perhaps felt in passing emotions.
