Icing Froster

Winter wonderland outside the windows this morning.  Thus, sharing this one today:

The icing froster came last night
covering everything in white.

This morning a very pretty sight
in which photographers delight
as this black and white
freshly painted site
glistens with diamonds bright
when the sun shines through clouds of white...

...of which this poet writes
before day turns to night
of sights
that delight
as thoughts come to light
with words on paper white...

..in which children bundle up then fight
to create snow creatures cold and white -
perhaps a snow dragon to protect a knight,
or snow people, round in width while tall in height,
then take off on tobogans in flight
while loudly squealing with much delight.

Shadows from sunlight bright
decorate this frosting white
and sprinkles glitter in its light
enhancing the icing froster's site.
Yes, this icing froster brings us sweet delight
if one takes time to delight in this gift of white.

You'll see crows had stopped in flight
leaving footprints impressed in white
adding decorations that look quite
whimsical this morn yet oh so right
before the wind comes from out of sight
to rearrange the icing froster's site.

The icing froster's work last night
leaves behind a sweet delight -
in photos, in words, in memories that delight
while one continues to enjoy this white sight
perhaps in front of the firelight
safe and secure this cold winter's night.

This icing froster
is the Creator.
Look what God says in his Word
printed here below
about the snow:

He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth.'
The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.
Job 37:6,10

...the storehouses of the snow...
Job 38:22

He send his command to the earth;
his word runs swiftly.
He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand his icy blast?
He sends his world and melts them;
he stirs up his breezes,
and the waters flow.
Psalm 147:15-18

...lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do his bidding...
Psalm 148:8

The rain and snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish...
Isaiah 55:10

Crow footprints in the snow.
