she closed her eyes
inhaled the frosty air of winter
then opened her eyes wide
to take in the huge expanse of stars in the dark new moon sky
she had no choice but to be herself
honor the facets of truth as they rose and changed form
for her twin soul was housed in an ice crystal
a crystal that beamed to her a unique light
as she moved to the left
or moved to the right in her life
the facets of that light inspired her every move

Tis Christmas Eve Day
and the snow begins to fall

I won a beautiful Santa in his Sleigh print!
I hope you can see all the charming details, because it overflows with geese, elves, cabins and a fox.
A gorgeous star and moon sleigh filled with old fashioned toys!
Jeri writes and illustrates gorgeous children's books,
treat yourself to a visit to her blog!
Thank you Jeri, I love your gift!

Coing back to read this poem again, I feel as though it was written for me. Especially the words:
ReplyDelete"she had no choice but to be herself, honor the facets of truth as they rose and changed form"
I am me and can't pretend to be anyone other than that. :)

Are those ice crystal natural? I dont think so... but they are wonderful
ReplyDeleteHenna is made out of dried and crushed leaves with a hint of eucalyptus oil and lemon forming the paste. I love the lingering fragrance on skin for 2 days after the paste dries out. most people believe it is thereputic but one can easily hate the smell too. like i hate the smell of mint leaves ;-)
Hellopalz,
ReplyDeletethank you for your visit, yes, those are natural crystals. they grow in winter when the temperature and moisture is just right! magical!
thanks for sharing about the henna!
Oh, my--beautiful artwork, breathtaking photo.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You'll get tired of my saying how amazing you are, sweet Friend!
