multiplied by millions and frozen -
fused together to create a masterpiece.
Sheets, diamonds, bubbles,
Edgy and fluid, jagged and round -
shape shifter.
Flowing, rippling, dripping -
Pulsing, breathing, living.
Water drops like heart beats.
Thawing and freezing,
Expand and contract.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Oh, you! Simply gorgeous--in all ways. And that seals it, we are doing the nature writing retreat!
ReplyDeleteOkay--I'm going to read the post again now. Bye.
Meg - =clapping and jumping up and down= Awesome! I sooo look forward to doing that retreat. Just tell me when and where, and I will be there! By the way, I was just re-reading this piece, and thinking about the ending. I initially thought I had ended my wind piece from a while back in the same way, but then I looked back, and I did not. Whew. I would hate to think that I'm re-using material.
ReplyDeleteOh, they really are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe ice in the first picture looks as if it was deliberately carved.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely pictures. Now I'm wishing for a good ice storm.
Jain - Yes, I agree.
ReplyDeleteJoy - Thanks for the nice comments. But watch what you wish for!
Well that was just phenomenal. Beautiful and poetic all at the same post. I love it Heather. Carol
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love the way the shape of the poem mirrors the drop of water melting from the ice in (extraordinary) photo below. Very nice.

Very interesting blog. Love your photogaphs. They allow me to see another part of our country.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding photography as usual Heather!
ReplyDeleteCarol - Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteJames - I didn't notice the poem's shape mirroring the ice melt photo until you brought it to my attention. A serendipitous coincidence.
