A cold winter night

One droplet to another whispered

Crystallize, crystallize, crystallize

This was no fall from grace

Earth called for her cold cover

A trillion of snowflakes hover

You’re longing for a warm embrace

A kiss of snow, a kiss of frost

From the love of the frost, no escape

Icicles hanging low from trees

Wandering in the forest, utterly lost

A crushing symphony, snow cracking under feet

Taste of lost lands floating in the air

Barren branches breaking in the distance

Frozen grass and borrowed sounds

An inquisitive hare, vainly searching for a bite

Of something other than frost — a cold and regretful attempt

Deer bolting through the fir trees to escape the hunt

Birds chirping, desperately searching for a seed

Branch snapping with a deafeningly quiet crunch

Hunter’s on the move but he’s walking on eggshells of snow

A quick glance back reveals the nearing danger

An impulsive hop, deer straying to the side

Saved for now, saved by snow, free to dance

Once again in light frozen, until the fall of night

Tender, yet shy, life longs to die

On this cold winter night
