Silent Storm

Silent whispers on a cold winter's day
Snowflakes dancing, as the wind makes them sway
The clouds hide the sun from watching their dance
He tries to peek through to give them a glance

The sparrows perched high on limbs trimmed in white
Watching the snowflakes, in awe of the sight
A rainbow appears and touches the ground
The snow keeps falling, not making a sound

A blanket of white now cover the trees
Its leaves long forgotten, lost to the breeze
The sound of laughter echoes through the field
Children playing, their wonderland revealed

The clouds relent, and give way to the sun
The storm is over, the melting's begun
