Snow dances as it kisses my face in childlike wonder.
Diamond dust shimmers across the horizon.
Angel Arms build snowballs of love,
waking me to the moment, before it slips away.
Crystal prisms capture radiance,
opening me, to crisp new ideas,
melting the encapsulated frozen state of numbness,
to fresh states of being.
Mini snowball army build a weaponry of love,
dropping the armor of destruction,
showering us in playful snow fights, in peaceful protection.
Snowflakes, no two alike, each glisten insight;
a reflection of our own DNA.
Catch it if you can as you flow, to the ever changing sea of life.
Angel Arms build snowballs of love.

Happy Fun Fri-Yay My Friends,
It’s a fun day in Cali with snow!
The top picture is of our dear friend’s son (also a dear friend), who is building “mini snowball army” as he says. I love how radiant and happy he is, having fun in the snow. They live down the street from my dad and are angels to us, checking in on my dad and his girlfriend, during the power outage and otherwise. They have been without power up the hill for a few days now AGAIN! I just talked to him and he’s now stuck on the hill trying to drive his son to school and they just closed the roads.
It’s fun for a few days, unlike for some of you who deal with this all winter long.
Here’s a picture of my dads house below.

Have a wonderful fun Fri-Yay and weekending. I’ve plenty of fun to report to you soon, so y’all come back now next week ya hear. Thanks so much for all of your patience in my return visits. I’m digging out slowly.
Lots of Love and Blessings in whatever you are facing. Stay warm, hopeful and go with the flow!

I’m glad you and your friends are enjoying the treat of rare snow in CA. Playtime! โโ

This is wonderful dear Cindy. Love the narrative and pics. โค๏ธ
So glad you enjoyed it Holly! Thanks so much ๐
I love your poem, Cindy. It feels like a celebration of snow! We’re socked in, which is pretty rare for Oregon, but I love it. As long as everyone is safe. Enjoy your blizzard and stay warm. ๐
Oh thanks so much Diana. It really is for us here. Wow, well nice to have seasons once in awhile. Safety is the number one ingredient for sure! Thanks so much and you too hunkering down!โฃ๏ธ
Girl, when I saw the news last night and they said that California was going to get snow, my mouth dropped. Oh Mommy Nature, Mother Nature is fooling us all. Yesterday, we had 80 degree temps. Today it was about the mid 70s. Over the weekend freezing temps are expected to roll in! Loved the beautiful poem as always my dear dawwwwlllinkkkkkkk!!! ๐ฅฐ๐๐
Be sure to have a FANtabulous weekend my sweetness. Thanks for a FUNyay kind of day…in the snow!!! โโโ
Wow… you can’t believe everything you hear now can you. Like when they said we would have snow and I said to myself “Yay right”. … I did snow in Jan when my daughter was born 34 years ago but the last time I remember.
Enjoy that gorgeous weather for a minute.. lo!๐l. Thanks my dawwwwlink.. Enjoy yours as well
Oh Cindy girlfriend, you are too funny. I was imagining you, Hunter and Ollie outside on the ground making snow angels! LOL ๐๐๐คฃ Ladybug, you have a FUNyay weekend! Enjoy the weather, no matter what it looks like outdoors! Hugs and smooches Mommy Nature! ๐๐๐ฅฐ๐ท๐
Hahahaha happy to have you laugh. I life for you to smile. We are al snuggled in and having a nice lovely day. I will and you have a great one as well!!!โฃ๏ธ

Such fun and whimsy, Cindy. Thank you for sharing this.
Hi K. Thank so very much. I’m happy you enjoyed it! Much appreciated.. ๐ฅฐ
Beautiful
Yayyyy … you got on.. thanks Mom~๐ฅฐ
You definitely had a more loving poetic view of the snow that I did while I was trying to move in it. It was not falling gently on my cheek but blasting me in the eyes, trying to whip me off balance as I loaded things into my car. I like your fun version better, Cindy! ๐
Oh I am so laughing right now Marsha but sorry because I’m sure it was dreadful. I’m coming out of a family snow ball “fight” so there’s that so don’t be too jealous. Hugs and love and many thanks for your visit! ๐ฅฐ
That sounds fun. It snowed all day and all night yesterday. Today, it got up to about 50 and I’ve never seen so much snow melt so fast (about 4 inches). We actually had the movers transporting furniture today and it was a gorgeous day to do it.
Oh boy.. it “warmed” up. That’s great you were able to get the move going! ๐
Yes. I hope you are back to a more normal winter there. Such strange weather in CA!
It’s sunny today.. wild! ๐ฅน๐
Yay! You’re having a rollercoaster ride!
I know, crazy! ๐
Such a beautiful poem. โ๏ธ
Thank you so much Michelle!!! ๐
This one felt like it came straight from the young girl heart of you. Donโt you just love it when things can flow out like that?
Oh that’s sweet to hear from you Michelle. I do but writing has been tougher than it appears right now with tough things I’m dealing with but so grateful, I could pull it out and it appeared as such! ๐
Well, I hope things start looking up soon. โค๏ธ
I so do too Michelle, thamks! ๐
A Winter Wonderland Around
San Francisco Where it Rarely
Snows and You May Still Wear

Once Again As Isn’t it Magic

Entirely New World

Hi Cindy, I’ve only experienced snow a few times in my life. We don’t get snow here in Johannesburg as a general rule. Your poem is delightful and how nice to have such a good friend to help you with your dad.
Oh wow Robbie, so good to know. While it’s beautiful to look at and I enjoyed some of it growing up, I’m more of a sun girl. I’m happy you like my poem and even more grateful for my friend to help with my dad. I am so grateful!!! ๐ Thanks so much! ๐
๐
What a delightful poem, Cindy! Do you usually get snow where you live? Stay warm and have a hot cup of tea! ๐ต
Thanks you so much Eugi. It snows about 4-5 hours from us but rarely here. I’m trying to keep the heat up and do exactly that. Thank goodness we have power. ๐
Such a beautiful poem, Cindy! We got a little snow here, and my daughter reported that it snowed in L.A. Strange times!
Thanks so much Dawn. I heard that from my son in LA. this morning as well, Dawn. Soooo wild! โฃ๏ธ
Cindy, youโre a beacon of light and warmth! How does the snow not melt in your presence? What a precious army of angels surrounding your Dad! And that snow Angel is adorable. Youโre so inspiring, dear Cindy! Much love and hugs! Your precious Dadโd place looks magical and Iโm so happy all is well right now. ๐๐ฅฐโค๏ธ๐๐
Thank you so much K..L.what a beautiful comment so heartfelt. Yes, how lucky is that to have the army of snow and love all around him. You are so dear heart and I’m grateful for your loving comment! Blessings to you always!๐
You’re welcome, Cindy. It’s a pleasure to read such uplifting and positive words! This world needs more of it! Blessings and love! ๐๐ค
Cindy, the poem is exquisite. I love the photo of the snowball builder too. Hugs.
Thanks you so much Teagan. I’m so happy you enjoyed my poem and the picture. So cute.๐
Thatโs such a beautiful and inspiring poem, Cindy. I love the idea of seeing ourselves in snowflakes, similar and yet different. Gorgeous! ๐
Oh Thank you so much Jeff! I’m glad you enjoyed the metaphor of that line!! ๐๐
Youโre welcome, Cindy! Always! ๐
๐๐๐ผโ๏ธ
He looks so happy ๐ ~ it makes me smile!
Me too David!!! Thanks so weighing! ๐
Lovely!! โCatch it if you can as you flow, to the ever changing sea of life.โ Amen! Blessings galore!
Glad you liked that line! Thanks so much !!!๐
I hope your dad has his power on by now, Cindy. Is snow this time of year normal for you? Your friend’s words fit nicely into your poem. Did you write this while watching him play? We just had the ice storm from hell. Thousands are still without power here too. Stay warm.
Thank goodness he does Mary, thanks!!! It really isn’t but it’s normal that his power up the hill goes out which makes me a little cray cra! I wrote it when I saw his picture they sent me which made me happy. Oh man, I’m so sorry you have had a heck of a storm. Stay warm my friend!!! ๐
I’m staying warm. Good to hear your dad is too, Cindy.
good idea.. me too! I’m happy for that as well! ๐
Such a wonderful poem Cindy. The snow… Please stay warm. Love you.
Oh I’m happy you like it Gabriela!!! Thanks so much!!!1 โฃ๏ธ
My pleasure hon.

Looks like a fabulous and inspiring place to be, to write, to love, to enjoy. Thanks for sharing, Cindy, and enjoy! โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Thanks so Michele!!!๐โค๏ธ๐โฃ๏ธ picture inspired!๐
Wonderful poem, especially the last two lines! We’ve had only one or two days of snow this year, and that was quite enough for me. Winter is not my favorite time of year, but we’re getting closer and closer to spring, and just the thought of it makes me very happy!
Iโm so with you but glad I could make a version of a snow poem that was pleasing!!!๐โ๏ธ๐
Happy Weekend Cindy..i live in a tropical country, i haven’t seen/experienced snow…and seeing posts like this makes me smile.
Thank you for sharing Cindy๐น
Oh I’m glad I can bring you a little change and smile Mich! Happy to hear that! ๐ Thank you so much! โฃ๏ธ
