Her flaws are preserved in amber,
cryogenic perpetuations cropping up
in her seedlings –
unless she warms up to the possibility
that grace
glows gold…

Very nice! I’ll have to study up on that amber stuff–I’ve heard of it as a preservative, but don’t know anything beyond that (or you could give me a sketchy lesson???). And, sometimes grace glows silver….
Silver is definitely more your style. Amber – I don’t know much about it either, except that prehistoric insects have supposedly been found perfectly preserved. ????
Well, it’s more than a little late for the amber, then–I could have been perfectly preserved 20 yrs ago, but we’d have both missed out on what I would become, “silvered”. So I think I’ll just be grateful–pass the chips, please–and I’ll go get us the new jar of salsa!
Lovely thought – “grace glows gold.” Melody, I like this ice art!

The only trouble is, it has such a short shelf-life! 🙂 Thanks, Wendy!
This poem is gold. I especially love the first line and the photo pairing. Beautiful writing, Melody.
Thanks, Lori! (I thought I commented on this one, but it popped up as unread, so if you are getting double, consider yourself doubly blessed and not hounded… ) 🙂
No, I think this is the first time. Yay for WP. Have a wonderful Sunday, Melody. 😀
Thanks Lori! You too!
I hope she warms up to the idea of grace! … it might not stay amber … but may turn a beautiful shade of crimson 🙂
We got our daughter an amber kit this last year. We’ve rubbed and rubbed and tried to see what’s inside . ..but it’s pretty tough to tell! I love your poem and pic .. much clearer!
🙂 Why thank you, Ma’am! 🙂
So it seems you will live thousand of years, preserved under the endless snow over there 🙂
Guess what? I saw SOIL for the first time yesterday in my garden! Snow, too – but actual SOIL! Things are looking up!
