The Beauty Of The Full Moon Night

The other night I walked outside 

and into the beauty 

of the full moon night.

 I felt as if I had walked

 into an Andrew Wyeth painting

 of the winter countryside...

  Snowy Landscape 

Andrew Wyeth

Walking in the brilliant moonlight...

My boots
making a single pair of tracks
across the frozen white landscape
the sharp interplay
of light and the stark
shadows
of the bare trees
silhouetted
across the
 illuminated ground.
I stand there
in silence
so deep
my ears are ringing.

- Pamela Denise Brida

"I prefer winter and fall

when you feel the bone structure

in the landscape- the lonliness of it-

the dead feeling of winter.

Something waits beneath it-

the whole story doesn't show."

-Andrew Wyeth
