As above

So below

The snow falls

Silently and Steadily.

–

Icy gems of water

Each unique in their

Pattern and design.

–

Sky opens and cold

Takes shape and form

As the breath of the winds

And all of nature shakes

A frosty hand commanding

Our attention.

–

For this brief space

Of time all slows

In its usual frantic

Pace and looks

Outward marveling

At the beauty.

–

Ground of manifest earth

Is garbed in sky’s mystery

And silence falls heavy

And full in its profound

Beauty.

–

As above

So below

I await the

Outpouring of

Each unique gem

Of space and time

Held in the cold.

–

I open to the

Profound stillness

And find myself garbed

In the product of

Heaven’s downpour

–

Each word heard

Each face met

Each teaching found

Unique in its beauty.
