Winter's Art

 

Winter is a poet who,

in quiet meditation,

writes of mountains blanketed

by white precipitation.

 

Winter is an artist, too,

and softly draws the scene

of stillness in a frozen pond

against a silent screen.

 

Winter's a musician,

and if we're listening,

the grace-note of God's love is played

which no one's voice can sing.
