Silent Stillness

Silent stillness, snow at rest, Serenity’s sleep at calm’s request; Calamity’s flurry provoked your roam, but here in slumber, your heart is home.

Silent stillness, snow at rest,

Serenity’s sleep at calm’s request;

Calamity’s flurry provoked your roam,

but here in slumber, your heart is home.

    I certainly get the peacefulness of freshly laid snow

    1. melodylowes

      Especially the calm after a storm! I had a weekend of driving many miles in a variety of winter conditions and appreciate the calm of a snowbank today! 🙂

    Ah, that makes me feel calm and sleepy. Like warm milk and honey.

      Put-you-to-sleep-poetry… I’ll take that as a compliment! 🙂 hee hee

    It’s great, of course–and I’m pondering the last line, only because when I’m asleep and dreaming, the setting of the dreams is never my home. I always dream that I’m elsewhere, and often younger/thinner/gorgeous again. Weird, huh?

    1. melodylowes

      Hmmm – never been, so I don’t go there in my dreams. But I dream of a Home to come – as I know you do, as well…

    Melody, this is so peaceful! Oh I miss the sunshine – it looks so lovely on the snow… But my “heart is home” and I will enjoy my dreams of spring.

      We are in the grip of yet another storm system, so I am eagerly waiting for the sunshine, too! It has been a blustery, bullying winter…

      1. greenlightlady

        Sounds more exciting than gloomy gray days… but I think I’ll stay here for now. Hope your power stays on for you.

      2. melodylowes

        Ah, yes – we take that so for granted, don’t we? What a lovely thing to have running warm water and so many conveniences….
