imagine that life exists
simply and always exists
before and after we meet each spectacular moment
life is
simply and always exists
before and after we meet each spectacular moment
life is
yesterday a breath of air and moisture existed
at night they mingled with freezing temperatures
grew into a delight for our eyes
winter crystals
sun comes to shine
and they melt
but that life
lived before and now after they were born into crystals
imagine that life always is
~
this is where I met these crystalline beauties:
to my eyes
this mornings forest was cloaked in fuzzy frost
yet up close
I was enraptured with what I found
~

Absolutely beautiful. We rarely (once every 10 years) get snow or ice, and then it melts very quickly. I guess that's why it fascinates me. These are beautiful captures.
ReplyDeleteI can see why the "enraptured" with the changes that life brings to water. Also hope you were dressed warm. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures as always accompanied by great words. I love your crystal images. Beautiful light in them.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time!
Hug from Hilda
