Frost Fireworks

Chill ground soaking up ice,
Soil gripped hard in fine filigree.
Sparkles bright under clear sky,
Locks summer’s bounty in fallen leaves.
Paused for a season of lengthening nights,
Stars point the cold velvet black.
Myriad lights pierce the chill,
Time travelling sparks.
Lift the spirit with thanks,
Every moment filled with beauty.
Each stem and twig robed,
Frost fireworks lace glistens.
Each shape-shifted into jewelled beauty,
Reflecting the star Maker, with thanksgiving.
