Cart Wheeling Crystals

Snow flakes
Tapping glass
One by one, 
Scraping silence 
From the pane of autumn’s stare
Where they gather 
In mute reflections, 
Like moths to a flame

Blustering into chaotic rhythm
White upon light, 
Cart-wheeling crystals
Frozen in free 
Falling eddies now
Gathering upon a wind, 
In violent whiteout

As a fire stares 
Back from beyond the hearth
A sentinel 
Of warmth bearing 
Witness to fair warning

From an army of 
Snow
