~Winters Miracle~

Through the ebony hours of darkness
As the night executed it's temporary control
Enslaving once again the light of day
I lay soundly sleeping
Sheltered from the harshness of the cold
Only sensing the warmth and security
Which surrounded me on this frigid winters night
Totally unaware
As I lay motionless beneath my heavy quilt
That the forces of nature were fully engaged
With maticulous deliberate strokes of the brush
Painting a magnificent canvas of white
To contrast the dark shadows of the night

Slowly the light of the day
Reclaimed it's rightful place
In the grandeous scheme of life
And the ebony darkness of night found itself
Reluctantly succumbing to the light of day
Allowing me to gaze upon this miraculous vision
These glistening spectrums of white
Which cleansed the once dreary backdrop

This majestic palette of whiteness
Sparkling brilliance for all who cared to see
Was with certainty a true masterpiece of art
Created by a master
From whom we can gather strength
In the knowledge that it matters not
How dark the hours in our lives may become
The darkness will never fully overpower the light
You may not always manage to see past the darkness
But never loose your faith,
The light will always be there
