Crystalline Moments
~
a beautiful dream
frozen in time
thoughts crystallized
in spirals of wonder
lattices for languid love
waiting on spring’s song

Very nice, Brad. Frost/ice patterns are always so amazing to me. I know there’s a scientific reason for the way it forms and why it produces different patterns, but it still fills me with awe and wonder of nature. Great prose too! 🙂

Agreed Julie. I love your photos of frost on windows. We don’t get those very often. I’m fine with not knowing and simply enjoying the beauty and awe! 👀

The photo is beautiful as is your poem. It is amazing what beauty nature creates. This time,
the frost with water tendrils.
I really love these lines of yours.

This is gorgeous, Brad. I love the look of ice and snow. I am sure I am supposed to live in a cold country as I hat the heat and love the cold.

Brad, I really enjoyed this poem! Beautifully written, and with such a sublime message of hope, longing, and wonder. To me, it feels like you capture hidden layers of love here, layers that are often out of grasp. Great job! 🙂

Beautiful words accompanies by a really fabulous image. I remember when I lived in the States being absolutely enchanted after ice storms….where all the trees looked like crystal. To this day one of those beautiful visual memories. Thank you very much Brad for always bringing such beauty to blog land:). Janet X

I’m surprised by all the curves in the icy photo! It’s easy to spend time looking at and fantasizing while wondering about the season ahead. Nicely done, Brad 🙂

Thanks Ka. Probably not much snow and ice where you are. But I enjoy the change of seasons and all the changes in nature that come with them.

Yes we’ve had some temps as low as the 40s lately and through the holidays. There’s often snow in the mountains this time of year, but we don’t travel there because of our young one and lacking that ambition to. There’s a lot of climate variation, overall; also there’s been a decent amount of rain this last month and etc. Tis the season! I love it!

Thanks Lorre. There was a new peace and hope at the end of the year. Lately, I’ve been getting caught up in the headlines and sense of despair. I know it will pass and all I/ we can do is our best a step at a time. To hugs, hope, and miracles!

I can’t handle the headlines, Brad. I literally feel sick if I watch too much. I keep believing that things have to get better! I hate the division…and it seems that a lot of the current climate is more about “I…Me Me My” than how we come together. I think the best we can do is continue to radiate love and goodness. Sending lots of good energy!
