Pillows of snow – v3

Pillows of light, white snow

Atop the raspberry bramble
At the back of the yard,
The edge of the wild place
Behind my building
In-town lot, work-week.

A winter scene, frozen, captured
Breathless in the cold still air
Glistening back at me, my vision;
As the light refracts against
The myriad of individual snowflakes
Gently joining in the blanket

A Whisper only, barely visible
Of dry grasses and a clutch of leaves
Left above on a twig
Breaking my reverie
While I am inside, warm;
Hearing the day-to-day sounds
Of my office place, busy
Clack of keys on keyboards,
Hum of the fluorescent lights,
Whir of the computer fans

Oh to be loose in the wood
With snowshoes and camera
To crunch among the vines,
Underbrush and downfallen branches;
To catch a glimpse of the small features
And magic held in the snow.
