(Dance of the Sun Dogs)
As this brilliant winter morning unfolds,
a veil, woven with infinite, intricate ice crystals
hangs suspended in the glare of white sun,
shimmering, appearing like an angel.
Sharp shadows accent
the purity of snow
filling this frigid field.
Sun Dogs dance in transforming light.
Sun Dogs dance in transforming light.
Parentheses rise, curved on the horizon
to frame this fleeting moment,
to carry my worship offering.
Luminous warmth within,
Luminous warmth within,
enhances the glow
of this radiant gesture.
The Spirit penetrates my soul.
The Spirit penetrates my soul.
A prayer of gratitude ascending;
bursting with astonished praise,
approaching the gates of Heaven.

The composition of this picture is awesome! The sundogs are striking but the field shadows on the snow spoke to me as well. Great work and words, Rich.
