Winter's Dawn

It was Thanksgiving 2014. An early season snow storm covered the landscape during the night. Despite the fact that we were entertaining friends and family that day, I woke early, grabbed my camera and headed out into the cool dawn. The world was silent and beautiful!

Giving thanks on this day,

in the still purple light.

A cold November dawn,

early blanket of snow.

Young tree before me,

once green with new life.

Early morning light,

now covered in ice.

I find in the view,

a season now past.

So quiet the snow,

in ice covered life.

From the moment it clicks,

a new day is dawning.

The seasons are changing,

a reason to give thanks.
