Lesson from a Snow-Flocked Pine Tree

 

Snowfall on tall pines,

Sunrise and stirring
Of quiet and big dreams
As a new year awakens.

Dark-covered winter with

Dormant believing

Leads joyfully into
Spring’s hope-filled returning,
 
When flowers and faith
Resurrect from earth’s slumber
Alive and reminded
Of God’s faithful goodness.
