Winter Wonderland

It began on a January day
as the trees coated in lily white snow  
forgot summer and all its precious sway   
Lost in a dream of frosty sparkle glow   
my winter wonderland revived in toe 
while I pressed my nose against the window; 
I inhaled the silver blue of Godly ray 
and watched the  snowflakes falling to the ground  
without making a sound.  Paving the way 
for the rose, and the pine, and the hound,   
my heart was planted for a winter's found  
with stardust hope from God's colossal bound 
It brought forth memories of my family tree 
the smiles and laughter shared in Montreal   
back when I was small, sitting on dad's knee
I truly felt so loved, and very tall 
Frosted silver bells, eyes that saw it all  
winters came winters went, I heard the call  
so I moved away.  Though I don't know why,  
I love it when it snows, its such a high.

A beautiful memory; lovely word painting; I can see it from the imagery the poem contains and I want to visit there.

Pixie, you certainly describe a winter wonderland so perfectly. I have never lived (except two years in England when I was very young) in a cold snowy covered environment and although i haven't, have always longed to. I understand your high even though I have not experienced it first hand. Loved every word. Hugs, Jennifer.

This is beautiful imagery. I had never found the exact right way to describe the prettiness of snow, but you have in this line: "I inhaled the silver blue of Godly ray and watched the snowflakes falling to the ground without making a sound." I am clapping and smiling and loving this poem.
