Strange Beauty

by Jan Ackerson  
8/10/2011 / Poetry

Across the windswept Yukon plain, a single snowflake falls
Aurora borealis drapes the skies
While in the leaden distances, one lonely she-wolf calls
This barren loveliness is God's surprise

Aurora borealis drapes the skies
My heart, a frozen prairieland, knows desolation, too
This barren loveliness is God's surprise
In countless shades of white and grey, in pale and shadowed hue

My heart, a frozen prairieland, knows desolation, too
Yet with God's touch, strange beauty is revealed
In countless shades of white and grey, in pale and shadowed hue
And with His breath, the icy patches yield

Yet with God's touch, strange beauty is revealed
Who would have thought that richness could in emptiness be found?
And with His breath, the icy patches yield
So tundraheart and prairie--becomes consecrated ground

Who would have thought that richness could in emptiness be found?
Far, far away, one lonely she-wolf calls
So tundraheart and prairie--becomes consecrated ground
On Yukon's plain, a single snowflake falls
