Natures Dance
How often has Natures Dance opened with clouds
of lace tatted fairies
Swiveling gliding downward to the globe.
Spreading feathery flakes of white cheer on all below.
That first welcome sign of winters pleasure.
When equinox has not yet entered its bitter weather .
We relax and dream of marshmallow days
Currier and Ives out the picture window
A cup of joe and toasty fire all aglow
While dog and cat share
Hearth and warmth before the blazing flare
All too soon father time will chime
The fierce winds will blow out of the north
Their battle cry. unfurling blizzard devastation.
And we’ll huddle close through the squalling desolation
Awake to a glittering panorama
Of diamond shards icing its glass frosting
Across the landscape without ceasing
And perhaps aurora boreala will be bye
Shimmering jeweled ribbons across the sky
Candy pinks, radiant blues, and sabine green
Carrying lace tatted fairies dancing on high
To Jack Frosts winter crinkle melody
While below the colors dance playful revelry
And we dream of happy days to hibernate
Within our bundled homes as Winter migrates
Into every nook and corner of our world
With its feathery snows, marshmallow days
Blizzards, iced diamond frosting and jewel ribbons
We leave its crescendoing chills outside our abodes

Thanks Myke..I am enjoying your 30 days.. And if you have never seen the northern lights, you have to make a trip to where you can. They are the most amazing light show
