A Winter Wonderland

The snow fluttered down Like a bird in flight, Bringing some light To the cold winter's night. Snowmen stood lonely No longer in prime, Left to be destroyed By the passing of time. Children lay sleeping Warm in their house, No one stirred Not even a mouse. Adults were tranquil And full of good will, Watching the robins On the windowsill. As sunrise grew near People started to wake, Just as the breeze Started sweeping the lake. The sun rose up In a distant glow, Casting shadows on the Quickly melting snow. The snowmen were dripping As they started to melt, No longer did they look Like a proud Scottish celt. The clouds were coloured They had yellows, pinks and reds, Drawing the sleepy children Up and out of their beds. The snow had gone As quickly as it came, Only the sun Could have been to blame.
