Just a Moment of a Morning

Just a Moment of a Morning


The pines hug
their snow-shawls tightly
each glistening as if
diamond-laden
but it is merely
the sunshine reflecting--
sending glitters
to gild the view.
Silence thunders.
Temperature just shy
of eleven degrees.
Nature's photography
preserves the scene:
frozen for posterity.
Scarlet flash of cardinal--
movement restored.
A gust of wind--
shawls shrugged
to hit the ground
in a showy cressendo
to my morning.
