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.

with many vistas of white over the reeds and grain stalks, as
