A to Z Challenge


For the A-Z challenge, we decided to post a new and original poem every day. Today, Regina is taking one day at a time with the letter "D".



10 Days at the Convent
Day #2 : Blessing of the Blizzard


Perched Jesus stares
Over distant roads
Hushed
City buzz
Paused in storm

Beneath great pine drapes
I take blizzard wind’s advice
Stay still

Long enough
For eyelashes to fill
With snowflakes
And cheeks to burn

Follow the Juncos
Through knee-deep snow
Past an effigy
Of Francis praying

To a silent river of white
Where birds gather
Frozen berry feast
Winter’s bounty

Listen
With only nature’s whisper
In your ear

And find peace.
