Snow Peaks

The wind whispers 

about the still peaks 

of high mountains dressed 

in their white gowns 

as if readying for  

a grand ball where 

a prince would come to meet 

his bride all dressed in white. 


The clouds too linger 

there about the slopes, 

transfixed by the sparkle 

of their garments 

but the winds forbid them 

to remain amidst 

this magic land. 


They leave in tears that 

turn at once to snowflakes 

adding more brilliance 

when the sun reigns 

once again.
