Possessed by Snow

2007.12.15
“I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.”

— Henry David Thoreau

“In any man who dies there dies with him, his first snow and kiss and fight. Not people die but worlds die in them.”

—Yevgeny Yevtushenko

“So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending.”—

J.R.R. Tolkien

(photo taken last night)

“Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die, Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly, Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams go, Life is a barren field, Frozen with snow”—

Langston Hughes

Snow began Thursday in the early afternoon. You know how the sky balloons with the scent of snow and you get ready for the flakes. It came down quickly— buried the bushes and hugged tree trunks—covered the roads and stalled traffic.

This morning the snow, undisturbed during the night—
This morning the snow
Carved and sculpted
Waited for walkers, dreamers
Makers of snow angels

photopoet My photos migrated between days—so if the words and the photos do not fit it's because of the "bug"
