“SNOWDROP”
A snowdrop I see
After long winter’s end
With petals of three
And green dots inside.
I’m reminded of life
And the whiteness of Christ.
If I listen in silence
My strength shall renew.
I’ll mount up wings
Like an eagle and fly,
Protected and Blessed!
Then the daffodils bloom
With a bugle inside,
My silence is broken
I’ll shout out and cry
Please show me and know me
It’s not time to die.

Here I am March 2, 2017, ten years have passed by, oh my! Please not to worry I am not wanting to die, not now nor then when I wrote “snowdrop”. The pen just took me there. I share this with you hoping a practice of silence will take you on the wings of an eagle to heights of flight. With love.
