Winter Poem

Winter Poem

Snow blankets the land with delicate white sheets
Wind whispers and nudges the trees with gentle force
Creek ripples with swift crispness as ice takes over
The crunching snow under my feet violates the evening chill
Moon radiates stark, brilliant light down upon the world
Stars twinkle for recognition as I gaze upon the sky

Her cool fingers pull me back from my reverence
A cold hearted mistress walks with me tonight
Pushing on, I deceive her with my dreams of warmth
A flickering fire beckons me with sinful promises
My footfalls sink deeper, I am within her grasp
But chimney smoke whisks the chill from these thoughts
At the door, warmth welcomes...
