Snow Acrostrain

Sleeping snow awaits to penetrate from above
Niveous pillows of cloud temper the surround,
Ornamental crystals waltzing within the wind
Wanton; knowing when not here you’re sleeping around.

Quite the surprising and chilling finish! I guess even though she is cold hearted she is not frigid.
