ivory flakes

                        the snowflakes are falling
            like ivory lace created by God
charming, creamy, soothing and precious
gathering on my windows and twinkling
                        dancing snow crystals icy 
tumbling, frosty, fluttering in a sweet ballet
the sound a silvery melodious beat so quiet
        (snow drifting in gleaming piles
             swirling, whirling, frosty flurries
                          oh, divine the snow blanket)
pristine the ivory flakes falling in my world
            feathery on my hair, cheeks and lips
    oh, divine the frozen kiss
                          sublime are winters butterflies
