Feathery Flakes
A crystalline drop of frozen water
blossoms into a snowflake;
while tumbling to the ground.
And fragile flakes twirling in the sunlight
perform perfect pirouettes;
dancing upon a breeze.
White on white, the air is almost opaque;
as feathery flakes of snow
fall from a sullied sky.
Naked trees don a shawl of frosty white
delicately woven flakes:
beautiful to behold.
The ground gets blanketed in a soft fleece
stretched silky smooth by the wind,
seamless and wrinkle-free.
Boughs bow under the weight of Winter's hand,
sculpting a Hallmark moment;
time locked in memory.
And within the splendor of that moment,
I slipped under Winter's spell;
and fell deeply in love.
