The sun gleamed gently
against the blanket of snow
sparkling like diamonds
the cold windy air
pounded on my skin
the vivid red cardinal
flew across the sky
landed on a green holly tree
Its bare feet
against the white fluff
I touched the blanket
feeling it melt on my bare skin
the pine tree surrounding
coated like frosting
The warm inviting cottage
sat on a hill
the cold air swept
through the branches of the trees
The silence of the air around
was heavenly
I watched
the beauty of the white blanket
covering the earth
was magnificent
