Snow White




Architectural bodies
gather, float to show
what is perfection in form
and motion.  Soft silhouettes
pirouette on the mountainous
terrain like ballerinas.

All that is  beauty
drifts, builds
to a crescendo
until all the world
is cleansed in the purity
of white flakes.

The winter sun
appears as if on cue,
spotlights them all
and they are transformed
to a dazzling diamond
radiance.  What a performance.
What a show of beauty
and grace. Bravo!

Beautiful, Judy. Such a softness and appreciation for the beauty of a snowy moonlit night in your poem.

Well said. I want to come to that show. We so rarely get it in central Texas.

Same here in Florida, Bob. I'm glad I have occasion to see it in NC but rarely am there at the right time.
