WINTER TREASURE

Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, moonstones,

All treasured stones of mankind

Seemed to dangle from twigs and leaves

As morning sunlight reflected the wealth.

Shafts of white, red, green then yellow

Splintered across the valley floor.

As this caught my eye, my body froze.

I could not move and miss one moment

Of this dazzling winter display.

My tongue silent, my heart leaping

Inscribed the memory

Forever in the data bank of my mind.
