Frozen,
wrapped in icicle lights,
pummelled with Arctic blasts;
snow-whipped,
frigid-crisped,
cursed with frosty casts.
Short days,
perennial nights,
benumbed betwixt and between;
underdogged, trodden-downed,
and yet –
evergreen.

Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
It really is amazing isn’t it? Does anyone know how we can make evergreen clothing? It would be so resilient it would never wear out!
Wow – what a thought! Get right on it, girl! You’d make a fortune! 😉
Great musing!
I simply love the verses, especially the last 3 lines.
😉
Thank you Chito! 🙂
Wonderful, Melody!
Thanks Maria! 🙂
“Benumbed betwixt and between”–is that a fabulous phrase or what?!!!
I’m rather partial to that one myself! 🙂
Your two photos of today are gorgeous and crystal clear.
Bravo!
Thank you very much! 🙂
Perfect combo.
Forever trees!
Thanks Rosy! 🙂
Your play on evergreen made me think about my christian walk. The phrase snow-wipped frigid-crisped sometimes when we live out our faith some people hurl abuse or freeze you out but if you remain focused on christ you can come out protected evergreen if you will take care
So true. I wrote more about that very same theme on my gardening blog, if you are interested… http://melodylowes.blogspot.com/2013/01/evergreen.html
And the good thing is, the frozen circumstances don’t last forever – there is always hope for better around the corner. Blessings to you!
Beautiful Lines. Picture also clear.
Thank you! 🙂
I want to be like an evergreen! Thanks for inspiring us, Melody!
🙂 I think you already are, with your encouraging ways!
