A Winter Day

I wake to see
A sea of white
Laid upon us during the 
Night 
Heavily bearing weight 
On the limbs 
Brisk are the winter winds 
Dancing flakes on window the trims 
A wonderland to delight our eyes 
It’s snowman building in children’s eyes
Noisy snow blowers in
The neighborhood 
Shovels scrapping
Ice hanging off the dogwood 
And those cumbersome coats and boots 
And getting kids into their snowsuits 
Rosy cheeks 
And runny noses 
Frozen hands and cold toes
And in the evening light 
Illumination seem very bright 
So hang those mittens 
By the fire and  
Off to bed 
Its time to retire
