Winter Magic

Sculpting tinges periwinkle, eventide paints on arc of ruby skies, Sunset dreams of freezing eve, longing warmth of moonrise; As realms gelid waltz, where light-beams with shadows dance, Shuddering boughs, quivering vistas, swaying barren expanse. Prairies frozen glimmer, resplendence of pristine falling snow, Where decaying colors of fall, in remnants of autumn glow, When twinkling cosmic rivers, on tapestries of Milky-Way flow, As frosty moonlight glistens knolls, of shivering terrains aglow. Quietude dwells in grip of winter, where lakes and rivers froze, Where beauty shines reflecting light, gleaming blustery woes, Of shorter days, of time glazed, mellowed in golden sunshine, Ceding to lingering nights, glinting in glamor of heavens divine.
