In the pines, far down below

In the coldest winter breeze

We find no shelter from the storm

As it whips through frozen trees

Icy pellets whistle by

Like meteors from space

The old man has awakened

Brushing snow off from his face

He smiles a rather frosty grin

No comfort does he bring

His frigid presence chases away

The warmth to which we cling

He seems to find such pleasure

In coating the lands in white

Exhaling his breath, quite merrily

Throughout the winter’s night

I’m drifting,

Like gently fallen snow,

Blown by winter’s sigh.

Swirling freely,

Taking flight, then

Softly falling,

Slowly drifting by.

Icicle Tears

When winter snow is heavy

Upon the fronds

And ice covers over

The rippling ponds

She weeps for the warmth

Once brought with the breeze

That allowed her dance

As graceful as leaves

That fell from the oaks

And surrounded her grace

Now covered in white

Like a veil ‘cross her face

It’s hidden her beauty

Each time, through the years

Under canopies, weeping

Her icicle tears

Into the Storm

snowfall-16320_960_720In the distance far behind me
A tree stands faintly showing
Wrapped within a cape of white
Amid the sharp winds blowing

My umbrella yields no shelter
As I brace against the storm
Snowflakes gather round me
Like bees about to swarm

And still I wander on the dunes
Drifting high above the ground
And lose myself in howling winds
That nary make a sound

The Coming of Morn

#poetry, beauty, cold, dorindaduclos.com, ethereal, morning, Night Owl Poetry, poems, Radiance, snow, starlight, sun, sunbeams

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
