The silence that weighs
down on my soul
when winter's gift of snow,
blankets the land
is deafening in its purity.
Amidst the stillness
God whispers
and serenity is born.

Hoodwinked !
I like the mix of nature, emotions and spitituality in this thoughtful poem. Your words are so meaningful to me as I too feel the silent weight and oppression of of the severe winters, it is a time of contemplation and search for meaning and purpose of such periods. Well written poem, thanks for sharing.
You have been Hoodwinked today by the Poetic Bandits because WE CARE!

Amidst the stillness
God whispers ... what a beautiful line and how true it is too. Snow always brings silence with it. Maybe it muffles sound but whatever it is a strange stillness and the write captures it beautifully. -
A simple short write but well worded. It had an effect on me. Nice piece.
Congratulations on your trophy.

When God whispers to the soul, indeed serenity is born.
Thanks once again.

Thank you for entering my short poems contest. i really like the line:
Is deafening in its purity
It is an unusual use of words. -
I wouldn't capitalize every line in this. But the poem itself if very lovely, the wording is good and I wouldn't change that. It is a good piece
