Winter's Blanket

The winter Queen has arrived Silent and soft and slow and divine Slowly thru icy breath she whispers As her silver garments open wide Miracles appear swirling free As tiny angels dancing above Softly drifting to the ground On the wall and rooftops Window ledges and branches bare Tiny crystal flowers bloom As she spreads her blanket around Tinkling and glittering they enter Frigid human lonely hearts And like wild butterflies The warmth flutter again As each flake a beautiful dream weave In the white tapestry of life 08/11/12 By Tahera Mannan
