Surprise

The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – surprise.

Snow drifts softly on the mountains crest
A quiet hush where the winter rests.

Along the ridge the silence grows
A frozen path where no one knows
What waits beyond the veil of white
A shimmer caught in the trembling light.

Then, sudden as a heartbeat’s rise
The clouds pull back in sheer surprise.

And there we stand – lost, unprepared
Breath stolen by the sight we’ve shared.
For mountains keep beneath the snow
More wonder than we’ll ever know.

The sky hangs pale, the world lies low
Wrapped in layers of falling snow.
Silence settles, calm and deep
As if the earth has paused to dream.

Yet, in that hush our hearts can hear
A wildness echo, sharp and clear.
A whisper from the heights above
Where the snow and stone in silence, love.
