Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings.   For today’s blog post, I am sharing a poem about snow falling on the Isle of Glass, as Ynys Witrin is another name for Avalon!

Snowflakes and the Isle of Glass

by Maranda Wabik

Snow falls in a blanket on the shores of the Isle

Sparkling flakes piling one on top another

The white blanket of snow begins to shine

The icy beauty exemplifies the name

Isle of Glass

Oh, this Sacred Isle of Healing

She is Avalon,

She was known as Ynys Afallon in Old Wales

Oh, but the Holy Isle is also 

Called Ynys Witren in Old Wales

A Sacred name of Avalon

A name that means the Isle of Glass

Such an ideal name for Avalon in the Winter

Avalon, when she is blanketed with Snow

Oh, how the flakes fly,

Carried on by the wind,

Picked up by the air 

As the winds of change are on the horizon

The clean, bright, and white snow

Shows the pristine beauty of ice

A sense of calmness and peace,

Overwhelms the senses 

Oh, how the snow piles up

Oh, how the snow brings in a cleansing energy

Of true synergy with nature!
