Journey with a Snow Heart

December 22nd, 2009 Comments 0

I took a journey today from England to Wales, and I brought with me a snow heart,

a heart made of snow, lying on the snow

the heart shone in the light,

snow heart lying on the snow, with a lovely glow

I put the heart on the bonnet of the car, nestled in front of the windscreen wipers,

and the sun shone down.  I had no idea how long my snow heart would last, if it would career off at the first turn, or break into pieces in the wind, but I took the journey anyway.

it rained,

the trees were breathtaking; the heart began to chip away,

the landscape and the light changed,

pink and blue sky, from driving car, with snow heart on bonnet

The sun began to set,

with a beautiful glowing light.

The moon rose,

moonrising seen from the car window

we arrived  – I’d had the snow heart with me for four hours longer than I’d expected.

Finally home, night light time, English snow arriving in Wales.
