My quote comes from writer, Matthew Brown. He is a contributing writer for Acres. Thank you for letting me quote this lovely piece, Matthew.
The photo, Art Out my Window, is through my dining room window art. I decorate my windows with stained glass and prisms. Enjoy.
Utter Stillness Rules These Woods
Beyond the window
a white appears as if from fog,
a white containing its own light.
Outside every tree, every branch
and each dry weed is frosted
with a condensation of snow;
seeds that cling to the ash
are now glass ornaments,
more than ornaments.
It's as though the waters themselves
had stood up as trees
filled with light.
Matthew Brown
