The Burdensome, Beautiful Hat

Today’s Photohunt Theme is “Hat”
she waited in the cold.
the darkness came.
like magic it fell, all around.
like a hat,
an icy burden built.
atop her it rested.
all night she struggled,
through the dark,
to stay erect.
when day broke
and light exploded
her burden glowed.
it remained heavy
and, although difficult to bear,
it allowed beauty, before unseen,
to shine through her.

I love how you can see the beauty in the small, and your words are so apt.
I see your photos and it reminds me to stop and look around, not just get to where I’m going.
Thanks

God Bless you Lotus.
You make the smallest most insignificant things missed by most, appear vastly huge and beautiful.
That is gorgeous and your words are so powerful and touching.
