Ah, The Sun!

All a radiant sun's facets are revealed 
on this pleasantly crisp winter day 
as it burns brightly within the ocean-blue 
canvass of the sky. Peering through the 
forest canopy, past the gaunt, dark trunks and 
boughs of naked trees, it rests its rays to 
scintillate on every needle of the woodland's 
pines, hemlock, firs and spruce, the
evergreens welcoming the comfort of even 
the illusion of warmth in an otherwise
wanly-lit landscape. The forest stream, 
freed of the ice that held it captured has 
rediscovered motion, the sun illuminating
and sparking on its every movement.
The snow layered deep on the forest floor, 
shines its icy lacquered top under the 
urging of the sun obliquely slanting its 
thaw-and-freeze surface. Wildlife pause 
to reconsider their altered habitat under the
beaming influence of the disk. A flock of 
crows gather silently in a concentration
of flight toward the golden orb.
