HUSHED MORNING 

Poem Body

HUSHED MORNING (25th December)

This morning when I woke,
was grey,
I thought the night had stolen day,
but no,
it was the snow that bore the light
so soon after Christmas night.

When even stars were hidden,
and clocks of white spun down
around our sleeping heads,
making softest sounds
in hushed quiet mounds.

No sudden flight of doves,
all messages invisible
between the living things,
made pure telepathy
in winter's ear
an atmosphere
resembling the devout,
as we look out.

spontaneity dear Anna and the poignant sort of feeling.

Loved the enternal rhyming every now and then especially the first lines

there are too many lines that I like but my favorites are

No sudden flight of doves,
all messages invisible
between the living things,
made pure telepathy

Really loved the idea here.

Happy holidays dear Anna

Doves as birds of peace not flying very worrisome in this troubled world
