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.
