and
as
the
first
few
flakes
fell
from
the
sky
joy ruled the day in kinder-land.
—
“the snow fell as softly as a poet’s tears.”
what an incredible way to say goodbye to a year
walking across a frozen lake with special friends
while wrapped up for sub-zero temps
with twinkling snowflakes swirling down in silence
under the watchful eye of a beautiful moon
and waking up to see it all in a new light in the morning
as we welcome in the new year
“i always loved the idea that a photograph was a memory frozen in time.”
