I will return here in winter and doormats will trap muck from my boots.Some curious snowflakes will race inside ahead of me, pushed by icy gusts.Then— like rainbow lace— they’ll flutter on drifts of painted air, will dancein shafts of bright all the way to the top in living color before dying.

lovely words and so timely for us as we leave today from sunny Mexico to winter time in Weed!
Where is this building?
oh very cool....what a neat window and how could you not have joy when the world around you is full of that much color...bet it would be cool to see the snow in as well...
Kathe~ Unfortunately, there was no description of the building at Pixdaus. I also wonder where it is.
I'm glad you have had a good break in Mexico!
Brian~ Exactly! I'd love to find that place in the gloom of winter.
What lovely imagery! and the photo is gorgeous too-
This was one gorgeous fifty-five! I loved the imagery, especially your "curious snowflakes" :)
Lydia....
But what a colorful way to go eh?
Marvelous example of how everyday observations can inspire fine literature...
Loved your Fatalistic 55
Thanks for playing, and please have a Kick Ass Week-End
Very visual, and you have somehow managed to make snowflakes seem warm, and white carry color. Love your 55, dear Lydia.
Happy Friday. Thanks for "stopping in for a visit" I feel like I'm getting stronger and finding myself and my friends, I'm also busy busy busy with story telling and the "new place" and writing. Hope all is well with you, I'm on vacation this week so I'll play catch up and go over your blog soon. Hugs.
You managed to turn winter into something quite magical ....
rainbow lace— they’ll flutter on drifts of painted air

I'm taking my last few moments before I attempt to sign off from the Internet to read blogs. The flow in this is lovely and I like the contrast between the colors, the mood, and the coming winter.
