in the half light

Soft dawn, fresh scented,
raining bird calls
drift me,
to Scheelagatan,
windows lamped
her balconies snow banked.

December's frozen crystals
streaming
fluid,
suspended horizontal 
to float
glass canyons 
of apartments 
half piped.

Delicate and sleeping
in a white room textured,
behind laced curtains  
and snow flakes falling.

While a thousand shades of green,
stand harmonious to me,  
as a tablecloth
upon a table.

Branching causeways
ramparts,
skyworked cathedral halls,
drifting  birdsongs to Scheelagatan
in the half light.

Beautiful and beautiful

Beautiful and beautiful Craig. It is changing now the light and the snow is melting. Yes light is a special thing and one thing I have noticed is that every place and country has its own special light You made the snow and ice so much more beautiful and sparkling..I think it is the light and the blue of your eyes. You are a wonderful writer and poet. love. o molly
