Though diamonds coat the ground
I often dream of green

2/5/2021 – winter snow
Like blankets on the frozen ground
The whitest snow resides
It dampens all the sound around
And calms the soul besides

Untroubled
As I espy outside the falling snow
A fire within me wakes to go and play
To lay upon the drift by my window
To be untroubled on a troubled day
Sonnet 1
I once was walking on a snowy day
With North-wind howling, redness on my face,
And all the world was silent, save the way
That wind did pierce the air and ev’ry place.
When what, to my confusion, should appear,
But diamonds glowing from the frosted ground,
Each sparkling gem a light, and ear to ear,
The clever Earth was smiling all around.
Look up, she sang, and I did lift mine eyes
To see the culprit, peeking from behind
The dark-wrought clouds; and I thought myself wise
For finding Diamond-wright, the Sun so kind.
And now whene’er I strive to find a gem,
That Sun will gently touch her light to them.
