Early Morning

I stepped out early on a winters morning, 
Still half asleep and quietly yawning.
The street lights cast a yellow glow,
That fell upon the virgin snow.

Lights coming on in houses,
As I walked the silent streets.
I took pleasure in the crump,
Of untrodden snow beneath my feet.

The cold air bit at my face,
Sharp as a butchers knife.
A pristine morning to myself,
A wonderland, of snow and ice.

Soon enough, the streets will fill
People going to and fro,
But for a while as they slept,
I revelled in the snow.

Great write Gary, very descriptive with nice rhyme too. This paints such originality of a winter morning with the crispness of the morning air.
