I woke this morning
to a blue sky
and
stars made of snow
floating lightly
to the earth below
they have since melted
sky now cloudy blue
I share with you Easter stars
a bit like me and you
from heaven
on earth
a transient
beautiful dance
not one the same
and yet born
of the same substance
a cognizance
we rise from the same breath of life
to a blue sky
and
stars made of snow
floating lightly
to the earth below
they have since melted
sky now cloudy blue
I share with you Easter stars
a bit like me and you
from heaven
on earth
a transient
beautiful dance
not one the same
and yet born
of the same substance
a cognizance
we rise from the same breath of life

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your visit to that other blog (!), I'm glad you like the boots (you should have seen the jaws of my colleagues drop! ;-))
Yes, I do cook, but the gorgeous chocolate cake you saw was made by the co-author of the blog who is a far better cook that I am!
I hope you had a good Easter Tammie.
Beautiful, delicate ... and transitory....

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting a comment on my travel-blog. I have structured it now by years and also added link to my e-mail from the comments´window so I can be informed on what's happening.
You have really a blog to be touched by....my eyes rest on your photos of beautiful scenes!
Have a nice week!
how magical, they remind me of a story my grandmother used to tell me about snowflake stars.
ReplyDeleteThough we're having very warm weather, there's no denying how beautiful that image is.. and your poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo to go with your poem. I really like the visual imagery created and analogy of the snowflakes to you and me. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteTammie
ReplyDeleteThe details in this photo are amazing... love that you can see many of the individual flakes.
Lovely words
Love the poem - and WOW that photo - must be a macro shot with a tripod - yes?
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie, What a beautiful picture to come back to - for I have been away from Blogland working... I see you have beautiful spring skies but that it is still frosty your way. I am off for a run in this glorious sunshine.
ReplyDeleteLovely day to you...
I do so love snow! I never thought of the flakes as stars before but I will now, lovely!
ReplyDeleteMagical and full of beauty. Here finally spring arrives, slowly, no more snow in the hills.
ReplyDeleteA great thanks for your images and heart's words.

ReplyDeleteSnow stars, ephemeral dancers. we rise from the same breath.
ReplyDeleteSo many gifts of the spirit to be found here. Wishing you beautiful skies on this spring morning.
Same source but different. Thoughtful and thought-provoking verse.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly gifted, I am amazed at the images you capture.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteof the same substance -- twins and stars yes
rise from the same breath of life -- stars yes and lovers perhaps as they kiss or maybe even hold hands.
Both lovers and twins know the unspoken feelings of their mate.
I like your description and feelings of the new snow. They picture is nice too. Thank you,
..
You have expressed this really beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteMarinela
liked those star-like snow :-)
ReplyDeletesuch a great style of poetry and photography
Hi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI have been commenting on your site, and then I realise there is another Tammie, Bella which you also comment. Both of you are artist.
I share with you this Chinese thought. When the Chinese name their children names, certain names will have the feng shui for certain thing. may be Tammie means being artistic.
What do you think?
I am commenting this on Bella's site too.
OOooooo such a fantastical shot of snow crystals! Very other-worldly.
