February Artwork
Blown like smooth dunes, by the
wind overnight,
the crusted snow glistened in the morning sun's light.
The brilliance danced on the canvas
I viewed;
I stood in awe - all faith renewed.
Untouched by man, this scenic vision
proved Nature's pallette conquered her mission.
The winter scene won the artist
a prize
for it dazzled and kept the focus of my eyes.
Her magic she wove all through
the night -
Nature's painting complete to view in daylight.
