WordPress Photo Challenge: Peaceful
It started snowing last night. By the morning, the world around my house was white and snowy and full of gleeful children’s voices sliding down our neighborhood sledding hill. But last night?
Last night, the world got quiet. The poet David Berman has a line in his poem Snow that goes like this: ”Our voices hung close in the new acoustics.” There is a closeness, a quietness, a peacefulness about a snowy night. The whole world goes quiet.
Thanks to WordPress Photo Challenge for the topic this week: Peaceful.
That excerpt from the poem captures what I have noticed but didn’t have words for. Thank you.
A peaceful scene for sure!

You’re welcome. The less-than-peaceful fallout from snow like this, though, is still to come. Here’s hoping the roads stay manageable.

Thanks. I’m surprised at my own imagination at this point in the year, but thanks for the encouragement.
