Looking on the sunny side....of life

Cold fingers on the keyboard pause~looking outside
makes me feel colder yet~words seem frozen in my brain
for days now our morning world is coated in layers of ice
birds huddle in feeders~pecking at seeds~trying to stay warm
maybe I pined for snow and winter with too much enthusiasm
which just goes to show~be careful what you wish for
even in  sunny California ~icy dreams come true!!

Burnished red gold
brightens and warms
cold night ahead

Milky Luna~slowly adding girth
her once maidenly crescent shape
gently bulging~pregnant with promise
full moon~coming soon

On the way home~heavy gray clouds draped the winter sky
thick roman shades~layer upon layer to horizon's edge
suddenly shades are pulled up~ revealing sky once more
tangerine streaks with periwinkle blue~vibrant ripples of color
replace the somber hues which saw us home not long ago
what treasure our Universe holds~so infinite and wondrous
reminding us how minuscule we truly are~just specks in time
blessed  to experience such moments of amazing grace

Christmas is near~ trimmed tree
glows in golden splendor
warming hearts on cold nights
