Fragile flakes weave a blanket of soft snow
covering Autumn's leaves with Winter's white.
And blustery breezes begin to blow
as a sullied sun disappears from sight;
and day can no longer hold back the night.
Winter wails amidst a flurry of flakes;
with Her crystal aura composed of ice.
And She begins to freeze rivers and lakes;
holding life ransom, in cold's crushing vise,
preparing for Spring's warmth to meet Her price.
Fall colors get whitewashed across the land,
as Autumn's buried beneath drifts of snow.
And the naked trees stripped of their leaves stand
barren, rooted to where nothing can grow;
although it used to, not that long ago.
A cold chill rides atop a frigid breeze,
and the songbirds have long since flown away.
While the temperature drops by degrees
till it is too cold to go out to play;
and the children are stuck indoors all day.
