I awake before the sun
just as the first hints of light kiss the horizon
deep sapphire skies glisten
a mystical backdrop against winter’s barren branches
All is quiet
except for the music within my own soul
playing the melody of transformation from darkness to light
as I witness the dawning of a new winter day
through frost covered windows

Thanks so much. I love seeing it too, and enjoy awaking to its lovely, intricate designs etched on my windows on winter mornings – even though it means that it’s freezing outside. 😉
