Winter's Light

One of my favorite visions is the glimmer of winter light through barren trees...the silhouette of dark branches against the dim winter sky. Many people have a difficult time seeing the beauty in the winter season. I believe the beauty of winter is in abundance...

There's a certain slant of light,

On winter afternoons,

That oppresses, like the weight

Of cathedral tunes.

From There's a Certain Slant of Light
