Light White Light

The Sun is cold today.

Winter mist causes temporary blindness.

Water laden air,

so hard to break through.

The light is white

 . . . and cold

She doesn’t have the strength

to melt a snowflake today.

Very descriptive, but I did have a vision of a shivering sun from the first line! and thought of all the us-centred phrases like 'there's no sun today' or 'the sun's gone now' etc!

It's fascinating to wait sometimes and see the sun gradually clear and 'break through' the mist. Rhiannon

Earlier the Sun was visible as a featurless white disc, but she faded. She has a fight on her hands today :)

The fridged light gives the impression it's more cold than it actually is out there.

(hope you don't mind me calling the Sun female -- its just how I feel about it today .... nothing pagan :)

For me this captured well the bleakness of winter, but also its beauty.

I was a cold morning. Just looking out of the window made me shiver
