The sounds of winter

Long, slender tendrils of cold reach out

and gently stroke the earth.

Covering the once dewy flora

In a sprinkled coating of frost.

Icy images dance on the windows

That are frozen to the touch.

The crystal skies are turned to a mural

Of winged things soaring towards the warm heavens.

Snow spreads across the lively, flowery fields

Making them a quiet wonder.

It seems as if the whole world’s silent

To hear the sounds of winter.
