painted with grains of sand – v7

the hills alive on this morning
dipped in winter light
painted with grains of sand;
pure sparkle, diamonds
on every filament, fiber,
on each blade of grass.

facets of the ice crystals
twinkling as I drive beside them
holding God’s light, as a prism;
sparks of living color, glinting
fingers of Jack’s paint strokes
dipped, cast, in frozen white.

the hills alive in the sunlight
shimmering, the fields afire
morning just begun, waking;
filaments of sparkle
painted before the sunlight
the morning drive to work.

“painted with grains of sand”
one of several poems about drive yesterday
the fields were alive with frost this morning
on NH Route 107 in Epsom, NH, Southbound,
with many vistas of white over the reeds and grain stalks, as
at 43.213132,-71.285279
