Poetry Day 2 at #OurAuthorGang

 Enjoy a poem by Dawn Treacher


Winter Sunlight 

Snow sodden skies and a brisk bitter breeze,
make snowdrops shiver,
and fallen leaves turn crisp.
 
Heavy flakes dance and swirl,
Obliterating near and far,
under an ominous silence until nighttime falls.
 
But with the first birdsong of morning,
and the rise of the sun,
a warmth steals over the shimmering stillness.
 
It creeps between branches,
throwing spidery shadows,
painting the pastures with a peach tinted glow,
and placing blushes on the bracken.
 
In that glorious moment,
sometimes so fleeting and rare,
it can melt away our sadness,
and brighten our soul.
