The Ballet

Twilight embraced the peaceful valley, While the crisp bite of fresh fallin' snow, Clung cloyingly to our hands and cheeks, Quietly christening us with its wintry show. A romantic ballet of Nature's Grace, Played out before our wondrous eyes, As shimmering snowflakes and gusts of wind, Danced; wheeling and spinning across the starlit skies. 'Come join us!', they called, lost in their ballet of grace, As they spun and weaved, before melting in our hair, Laughing, we caught the wild merrymakers on our tongues, Tasting the music and dance that lingered in the cold air. Our warm breath, frosted the air as hand and hand we walked on, The brush of sweet snow still caressed our lips and tongue, We passionately kissed, while snowflakes danced 'round our heads, singing, 'Happy Valentines Day!', to all that joined in their song! ©Jane Richer 11/02/2012
