Boughs of Holly

Snowy Firs covered in Sunshine provide a place to dream...

Resting on branches of Holly Berries 

Tufted Titmouse on winterberry Holly...  

Elegant soft grey feathers with a soft Rose breast  

reflect the Season of Merriment as Cardinals dance 

Chopins Minuet and search for the Love that 

Angels left when Heaven wept for the frozen Souls 

left in the Cold of a Wintry night.

This poem is a beautiful and evocative depiction of the natural world in winter. The lines "Resting on branches of Holly Berries / Tufted Titmouse on winterberry Holly..." create a vivid image of a bird perched on a branch, surrounded by the beauty of the winter landscape.

The poem also touches on themes of love and loss, using the imagery of angels weeping for frozen souls to create a sense of sadness and longing. The line "search for the Love that / Angels left when Heaven wept for the frozen Souls / left in the Cold of a Wintry night" is particularly poignant, capturing the sense of loneliness and isolation that can accompany the winter season.

Overall, this is a beautiful and moving poem that captures the magic and mystery of the natural world in winter. The author's use of imagery and language is masterful, creating a sense of wonder and awe that is sure to resonate with readers.

In the season of merriment are hiden the tears of those frozen souls. The birds understand that pain and know where to look for the love that the Angels left. We find both the elements of sadness as well as joy in your beautiful poetry of nature. You weave magic with compassion.

Elegant poem my dear Pat, love the "elegant soft gray feathers"... it truly is the season of merriment...'as the cardinals dance Chopin's minuet"... with a bittersweet ending....
Lovely!
Best, B

Great combination of sights and sounds making your poem burst with the merriment of the holidays with the newness of the upcoming New Year. Hope-filled, scents-filled and love-filled.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami… it seems to be a new World… where we have brought a New Order to handle the influx of people from faraway places… many of whom bring a Culture of Art and 🎶 Music for the New Year. We have spoken of Aliens in the Sky… now we have Angels among the Evil ones that have landed on our Soil. With Hope and Faith.. we will sort through and have a new way to have Law and Order. To this end we will Pray. tenderly, Pat

Chopin playing in the background, the sad birds are the frozen souls...
and right now we are experiencing -20 plus windchills....
as if life will never unfreeze again.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob… for the Sake of your Salt upon this Earth… I commend your review of the Souls within the Grace of God.. be it the Birds or Mankind. Amen… Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Folks... We are praying for the fragile Souls across our Country who are left to the frigid
weather during the Christmas Season...
If only they could have Feather Beds and Berries... Amen... Pat
