a silhouette of frost – v4

looking down for a moment
Thanksgiving morning
a picture of eternity
of God’s creation
captured in light
frozen in shadow

a cut out remaining
the colors reversed
a silhouette of frost
the old sugar maple
captured in light
imprinted on the grass

only for these fleeting moments
as the morning warms the ground
a silhouette of frost
captured in light
November sun rising
the lawn becoming wet

the shadow of the maple
but not a silhouette of black
white on the ground
the frost yet remaining
captured in light
until the sun moves around

a silhouette of frost
&
the sugar maple’s shadow kept the frost outline
as the rest of the frost melted this morning
on the church lawn
&
remembering to whom we are thankful
