Snow Globe Spendor

~Snow Globe Splendor~

A misty fog escapes my mouth 
each time I exhale warming my 
cold lips
As I breathe a coldness fills  
my lungs with a pine freshness

The powdery snow embraces
the arms of each bare tree limb
and each park bench holds a 
cushion of frozen flakes almost 
welcoming 
Icicles hang like glistening diamonds 
from the streetlights as the sun hits 
them shining 

Wraping my arms about myself 
to find warmth from the frigid air
I watch as the children race to the 
top of a steep hill to ride their new 
Christmas sleighs down over 
and over again laughing in delight 
their noses and cheeks a rosy red

Walking away frozen water crystals 
crunch underfoot when my day is 
shaken and the snow 
begins to dance and twirl silently 
falling to blanket my footprints 
in a hush,leaving me spellbound 
in this Snow globe splendor

What a metaphor, a Snow Globe Spender. No snow here, but we had a walk on a sandy beach for Christmas. Collected some sea shells. Happy writing for the New Year, Kai
