'Snowrise' And 'Sunfall'

A healthy man, indeed, is the complement of the seasons, and in winter, summer is in his heart. - Thoreau

imparting heavenly quiescence

as god limbered up his ample fingers

the night's snow fell with a divine prescience

imparting the river with a strange effervescence

a new day coming of age in a strange sort of eternal, glandular pubescence

sun radiating the gift of loving incandescence

heavenly quintessence

the devil walked away, head bowed in silent acquiescence

Author's Note

"I love to wade and flounder through the swamp now, these bitter cold days when the snow lies deep on the ground, and I need travel but little way from the town to get to a Nova Zembla solitude,—to wade through the swamps, all snowed up, untracked by man, into which the fine dry snow is still drifting till it is even with the tops of the water andromeda and halfway up the high blueberry bushes." - Thoreau

A fall of snow can certainly make the scenery heavenly. And then if the sun shines on it, even more so. Lovely poetry Pete and your posted image quite breath taking.
