In blessed dance soft snowflakes shine
a pristine cloak across the earth
this place to rest in spirit's peace
a diamond clear and true.
In footfall tread as angels
leave no mark of humble dance
as speckled sunlight warms the heart
streams flow leisurely through veins.
As flame absorbs the frozen cloak
all faces raised to heaven
in sanctity do seasons change
different dresses worn so fresh.
Observe the jewel change colours
emeralds raw in stunning views
heed the zephyr's whispers
as your essence is beckoned home.
Sway in tune to heartbeats
feel the rhythm of the land
as ancient tales of wisdom
with wings of freedom do allure.

I appreciate them, especially when I had half written this then pressed the wrong button and lost it all because I hadn't saved along the way lol. The original I liked better but couldn't remember it!
Thanks again
