poems and the voice of the snow

i found these poems tonight and thought them so very beautiful. i write poems as well but haven't put anything to paper in such a long time. these are very inspiring.....lilting, melancholy and beautiful.
"My tears are like the quiet drift, of
petals like some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift,
of unremembered skies and snows".
Dylan Thomas
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes
the whole world around you because
the greatest secrets are always hidden
in the most unlikely places. Those who
don't believe in magic will never find it".
Roald Dahl
the winter wind swept through the dark with a quiet whisper, never calling to anyone.
it seemed as if it were all alone, no friends or neighbors, but was not longing for friendship.
the wind's voice was like that of a lost child, free but searching. had i not encountered the wind that night on my walk, i would have never known it's secret, enchanting voice.

dreams of happiness

with winter here, i am sad in some ways to see the leaves have lost their beautiful green leaves, but there is still a lovely, quiet and stark beauty to the bare branches as they move gently in the winter wind. birds sit quiety on the telephone wires, facing a faraway place, perhaps dreaming of spring and summer and the warmth of the sun. the fall leaves float down together in large groups, as if they are dancing together. it is beautiful, but i will miss the green leaves all winter, dreaming of the sunshine of spring and the flittering, fluttering excitement of new life as the snow melts and we can run outside in our shorts and summer tops. how fun summer is. i was born in the summer, in august and it is my most favorite month of the year. but december is on it's way with christmas and that is beautiful, too. i hope your day is blessed with lovely things and lovely thoughts of beauty......
