It falls,

The sky crying,

In the cold.

Frozen flakes,

Twinkling

Across the landscape,

Snow softening silence.

Muffled moods,

Tucked in humans:

Chilled to their core.

Wildlife

Scavenging through the crunch,

Resting in their natural igloos.

**************

Here comes the sun!

Air still

Below frozen,

Ray lacquered drifts.

Suddenly rolling hills,

Across the yard,

All white.

Glittering,

Shimmering in the moon light.

Winter’s beauty

And bliss,

Fully on display,

For any willing to enjoy it.
