Winter Calm


Snowflakes falling gently on the ground making not a sound 
pine trees waving sprightly branches sharing sidelong glances 
I hear cornflake crunches beneath my feet, I am keeping beat 
to the rhythm of the wind and falling snow, I have to go,  
                             inside a flurry of white pristine snow 
                             inside a fresh puff of wind, yes I know 
Snowflakes are falling gently and my heart is calling me home
evergreen moments on a January day, I am never truly alone 
I hear the sound of sleigh bells, horses prancing in the snow 
to the rhythm of a slow trot, I go, go go go ... 
                                inside this fantasy of silver bright 
                                inside this winter lullaby of light !  
Snowflakes falling falling falling, gently in the January snow.
