painted with grains of sand – v5



hills alive in morning
painted with grains of sand
dipped in winter light

pure sparkle, diamonds
on every filament, fiber,
on every blade of grass

facets of ice crystals
twinkling as I drive beside
holding God’s light, as a prism,

sparks of living color, glinting
fingers of Jack’s paint strokes
dipped, cast, in frozen white

hills alive in sunlight
shimmering, the fields afire
morning just begun, waking

illumined within
filaments of sparkle
painted before the sun

“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
going to the Deerfield Community School
