Bursting from within the heart of a blizzard shock wave, Shutters the flexing eye of this white hurricane storm, Shattering the inner core into a blazing shards torrent, A miracle of utter mystical enchantment occurs, In this ancient incantations sacred spell. It is a crystallized super nova’s raw force, exploding from The inner guttural roar of nature giving birth, to The snow bird of paradise. In its translucent chamber egg of ice, resting in the Diamond dust covered nest, lined with crystal frozen gems, Shimmering beneath the chilling Artic sun, as the Freezing embrace of mother earth, rocks her starling, Kindred off spring, waiting, are anticipating its hatching. Ever tenderly the life within stirs, as if a captured moment Of purities grace, encapsulated in brilliance opulence, The shells shard melts away, in a hushed display of beauties Refinement and complete elegance. Nature itself seems to hold its very breath, as the Snow bird rises, for the first motions step, in a swaying Waltz of harmony. Behold the snow bird strides forth, fanning her plumage Behind, a white laced peacock is exposed, unfolding its winged Feathers delicately, one by one, until the colors Reflect the light rays from the polar sun. Gleaming in radiance, the fineries majestic appendages Sparkle with razzle-dazzles adornments, yet the winds brush At her downy softness, as if caressing the fleece of a new Born lamb’s wool, ever so gently. Plumages lace of snowflakes spread wide, in a splendors display Of glitz and glamour, as the fluffy strains ripple in the night winds Whispering, come along my beautiful creation, it is time to warm My soil with springs everlasting promise, once more.
