Upon Icy, Snow Covered and White Faced Ground

Upon Icy, Snow Covered And White Faced Ground


Winter's heart, skies filled with the cold blue
Soon furry critters will begin another sleep.
Awaiting a future change in Spring's first clue
while in frigid forests chills blast in so deep!

Across vast plains winds cut frosty sky on down
upon icy snow covered and white faced ground.
Out race children in a snow covered nearby town
to frolic and play in the whiteness all around.

Winter's nights, hold a larger, brighter moon
more light to display beautiful snowy scenes.
Many cry this beauty vanishes far, far too soon
wishing to hold it there by any and every means!

Winter's heart, skies filled with the cold blue
Soon furry critters will begin another sleep.
Awaiting a future change in Spring's first clue
while in frigid forests chills blast in so deep!

Fierce cold eats into the valleys and the hills
where many dread its beauty and cutting chills!

Robert J. Lindley, 08-16-2015

NOTE- This time of the year my mind always turns
to winter and its fierce cold. A thing that I so
often dread. Even as a child I would have  traded
the snow and its beauty/play for warm weather any 
day.
