A Frigid Winter Morn
It's winter as I view the merging between night and dawn
Frosted dew crunches underfoot as I stroll across my lawn
Around me the world is hushed and a fading star still shines
Virgin snow fell overnight, settling like blankets on the pines
I glimpse pale light on the horizon this frozen January morn
Shadows are being cast over the hills as another day is born
A spectrum of pastels is painting the sky in such colorful array
The sun's golden beams resemble swords making way for day
On a morning walk, my breath turns into mist in the frigid air
There are paw prints in the snow, and tree branches are bare
Water slowly drips from icicles beneath each gabled dormer
A hearth fire beckons me inside where it will be much warmer
