White, bright, in the grayest of days

Fallen snow gathers in a crystalline haze

Sunbeams capture her radiant face

Shining her light on this dreary, cold place

Heavenly beauty, ethereal sight

Gossamer wings reflecting the light

Of sky’s golden orb, in the pale of the day

Yet, starlight encaptures in frozen array

Sparkling softly, her grace, to adorn

Patiently awaiting the coming of morn

Petals fall in flakes of white

Winter calls, this frosted night

Whipping winds against the pane

Crystals form a frosty mane

Upon the glass that yields the cold

Yet, I shiver as the day grows old

Is it the day or is it me

Who ages like the barren tree

That shivers in the frosted night

When petals fall in flakes of white

Cold is the night

Crystalline breaths

In a stormless sky

Still, in the dark

I breathe the silence

Calm, harmonious quiet

Tranquil, nourishing my soul

The sounds of peace

Emptiness lies beyond the mist

Pallid colored crystals shift

She walks on tip toes, through the grass

Blades that feel like shards of glass

Wondering where it is she’ll go

Lost among the fog aflow

That swirls about her naked skin

Uncloaked to feel the cold within

Of winter’s chill that holds no kindness

Frozen in this icy blindness

She wanders on into the haze

Her mind adrift in a languid daze

Misty night shivers

As the cold splashes its face

With tiny droplets

Flying across the air

Never falling, only covering

Nourishing

The unborn petals

Awaiting the warmth of day
