Snowflake Wishes

~ still no snow at the beach ~

~~~

I hung my hope upon a star

in skies of midnight blue

As winter rose and snowflakes fell

the star, my wish, it flew!

 

Lie still, lie still, my hopeful heart

as the sky began to glow

in flecks of light, so pure and white

Lie still, but let it snow

 

I dreamt a dream so full of hope

where a wish, it came true

I woke to a white wonderland

The star, my wish, it grew!

So lovely, MsJewel. We must never give up on a dream or desire we hold dear. For to give up on it is, in a sense, to cease living and to cease feeling fully alive. Very, very well done, my friend. And I hope to post something this weekend. I've been a slacker as of late:)

[MsJewel]

Thanks so much Rebecca. Happy New Year! :) Julie

[Rebecca Buller]

Come to Michigan. Rain and snow is no problem. When I was station in Monterey. I didn't miss the snow. I like the poem. Winter does have it beauty. A good sled and a big hill. Fun for the family. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I used to spend Thanksgiving in Minnesota every year. I do miss the snow, but I guess it is different if you deal with it every winter, year after year. Thank you for your lovely comment. Happy Holidays :) Julie

"Never give up on your dreams" is the message I received from your wonderful poem, Julie. Velvety soft and tinged with a perfumed innocence.....just so very lovely! The rhyming and meter are absolute perfection and the persentation is gorgeous. Julie, as always, your work is super! Lydi**

I love this piece MS the imagery is light and flurry like snow softly falling on that clear dark night, just like a tinkle of a bell, amazing.
