theistic silence 
   of
moonlight snow
   a 
stillness 
   spawns 
     & soothes

laden boughs 
  bent
       in 
            silent 
         submission
     &straining 
   stems
 stanching 
streams

silvery 
  sheen 
      on
     slippery slopes
 moonbeams 
shinning
  in
rubellite dream
&jewels 
of 
   snow

       symphony
           in 
     surging swells
  &slow 
yearning whispers
      wailing windsong 
           aches
              &
           sacred silence 
       of
snow

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
