Discerning

Happy the man who discovers wisdom, the man who gains discernment:  gaining her is more rewarding than silver, more profitable than gold.  She is beyond the price of pearls, nothing you could covet is her equal.                                                                                                                 Proverbs 3:13-15 Awoke to the drapery of snow over every form, stretched out  as far as I could see through tree lines and fields; as if the laden clouds grew weary and lay down to rest on what was holding up in the darkness and  what was shimmering in the first light.  In this blue-pale dawn, spinning toward the fire of our white dwarf in a pearling snow lilting down and everywhere,  I awake,  while buds of crows, strewing from dark branches are shaking out the fallen sky  into the ivory-bright one.    Lord, your artistry astounds me daily if only I still and begin to notice     the lines we stay inside blurring as I long to leap into the sky of you coming down  and holding  all the same.
