NATURE'S ORNAMENTS

Ever

Green boughs

Wearing white muffs

Shivery, silvery secrets keep

Knee deep in a soft, blue-tinted skirt.

Dark

Branches shrug

Winter’s heavy shawls

Ice dripping and hope renewed

Life flowing, sap spreading, new birth

Misty

Falling Tears

Jewel-like droplets

Clinging, sparkling in the gloom

Sweetening the air with breath of springtime

Neon

Green growth

Hiding twittering nests

New life shielding, revealing

Surrounded by pale-minty leafed trees.

Tall

Pointed spire

Reaching arms to heaven

Adorned by bright feathery wings

Sheltering the least and smallest of His creatures.

Silky

Wispy webs

Draping like garlands

Morning dew in sunlight sparkles

In silence breathes a thankful prayer to God

Round

Fruitful cones

Hanging and dangling

The promise of life and harvest

With spicy scent in the warm autumn air

Crisp

Blowing winds

Whispery needles wafting

Carpeting ground with golden threads

Fluttering ornaments of gold and scarlet leaves.

Silver

Frosted tinsel

Tinkling, shimmering ice

Worshiping, singing their praises

Perfect harmony with the soft moonlight.
