The Winter's Elegant Lilting Waltz

“Inside, cozy, with the warmth of a crackling fireplace, wrapped in a wool blanket, looking out to a magic snow globe world.”  Quote by poet

Winter in an elegant waltz rhythm   
And a drawn breath of early chill hum,
Latent boughs by heaven's snowfall,
White downy bedding laid across numb.

Woods once rich with succulent leaves shawl,
Sweetly smudged, quiver, kissed away sprawl
By autumn's thief to come again
In early spring, again prevail all.

Sun's ray stretch across snowfall with a kiss
Of warmth hovers, veils above, not amiss.
Lost in a crunchy white dream, shadows turn
To gather into kaleidoscope bliss.

The soul of nature's shared sound poetic
Artistry sighs, a craving kinetic
Force for harmony, for a slumbering
Village in midnight and silent epic.
