Filigree Poem by Sandra Fowler
Filigree
Frail April snow, the blue smoke of old moods,
And filigree of nailprints on the mind,
A shadow paints the windowpane of dreams,
That young God-Man who gave Himself for spring.
Previously published in my book, 'The Colors Cry In Rain'.

This is subtle and graceful. Though I am not enamored of religion, I find the very words 'sacrificial redemtion' evocative on a visceral level.
How in four lines you have brought a world of ideas? Your imagination is very much high and colorful indeed!
dear sandra, you should try japanese short forms things like haiku, and tanka as you have a soul for those genres.
Beyond the pain there is a true message of love for all Beautifully written Love duncan X
A shadow paints the windowpane of dreams, That young God-Man who gave Himself for spring. So wonderful!
Beautiful title to poem and book, write exquisite - your touch - gentle compassion
You drew me right into the mood of frail April and the beauty of the imagery of it all. Simply splendid work. 10 Karin Anderson

If I ever preach again on Easter, I pray you will grant me the boon of using the last line of this poem in the church bulletin that would probably be involved. Elegant and fresh. You always have a gift for me when I can find the courage to pause and refresh for a moment. Bill Grace
