'THE SNOW' by Tirza Schaefer
Updated: Dec 16, 2018
I'm not officially predicting any sudden weather changes today but wanted to share this poem by Tirza Schaefer from her beautiful book 'My Spirit Song.' Thanks so much to her for allowing SSHH to publish it here for our festive blog season.
THE SNOW
The mud
The grime
The slosh
The dirty black, darkest brown
All covered
In crystalline dots
Of white purity
How it glitters
And sparkles
How the sunlight reflects
In icy clarity
How colours seem more vibrant
All through the protective blanket
The warming shawl
Of a myriad of individual flakes
Magicking smiles on children's faces
Protecting plants from freezing death
Lulling the world
Into a sense of blissful wonder
At the delights of nature's miracles
The Ponds are frozen
Ice sparkles
In a thin layer of sugary frosted cover
So many animals are sleeping
Through the cold days
Of winter
It is dream time
Bear is reigning
Imparting wisdom
In your sleep
The days are short
And the nights are long
Time to gather round the hearth fire
Time for crafting
Telling stories
Of times long gone
And times to come
A period of rest
Of clans getting together
Witches stirring cauldrons
A time of magic
And preparation for renewal
Children falling asleep
In the loving arms of adults
Who speak softly, soothingly, lovingly
Peace reigns in the house
In the warmth of the fire
While outside wolf is prowling
To assist with family bonding
His howling imparts of message
Of clear communication
Of ancient wisdom imparted
Mother Moon shines
Her friendly face
Shining a gentle sparkle on ...
The Snow
