Encounter of Ages – Free Verse – December 26, 2016

On this cold winter’s day
I look onto perfection
The meeting of dawn’s light
And the closing of day
This marvel of creation
Lay arm in arm together …
In this momentous moment
My heart fills with peace
My mind knows true love
As the spring and the winter
Come together I sigh with awe …
Now life’s continuity
Through its endless cycles
Is no longer a stale thought
But a vibrant reality
As I look onto this scene
Of the encounter of the ages
On this cold winter’s day

Hi Georgia, I hope you had a great or at least ok Christmas.
I did like the notion of looking into perfection in the face of a new born for that is what they are…..beautifully written….

I think we can see perfection in both the new and the old.
And we (you and I) are far from ‘old’ – I was just looking at a news article where four women who were 100 were sitting bright eyed around a table making New Year’s resolutions. 🙂

Best to you in the New Year! Hugs, Jules

The promise of birth, new life. You describe the cycle so well.
Holidays must be tough — good luck. And I hope that 2016 brings good things.
If not too inappropriate: ((((((hugs)))))

  A lovely greeting and hugs are never inappropriate … I hope your holidays have gone well so far (my son was here so Christmas was not at all tough). Big hugs to you too!

thanks for sharing such a poignant piece of writing Georgia 🙂

this is indeed a really moving and evocative capture about the cycle of life – and your words – so elegant and apt …. a lovely story for the image.

{having read through the comments here – well I’m glad that your holidays were peaceful enough and that your son with was you …. and I wish you all the best for 2016 – may it be filled with abundance}

Cheers ~Pat
