Snowflake, glistening Quivering close to my lips Fluttering mystery, so beautiful Whimsical – a graceful wish In hope, I stick out my tongue Licking the wonder as it runs from the sun Exposing its innocence and frailty As it melts to a moist moment There on the words that fight for Whispers in the silence of my heart, The grace that feeds my poetry The making of a wish, indeed… The snowflake’s gift to me – winter Wonder, fascinating my thoughts With frosty wisps of ashen insights Gentling my dreams, this peace Silences even the dark with its serenity Soothing away the melancholy and reminding My soul to listen to the stillness, the calm Quieting the night as it pours out a storm

Dear Gina, your poem is simply superb! I adore the silence a snow fall brings, muffling sounds in a dreamy hush. I find the frosty down comforts and enlivens my muse, whether it falls softly or with a vengeance.. "Quieting the night as it pours out a storm" - such a grand finale to an exceptional piece. Warmest wishes and hugs, my sweet friend.. ~Susan
