Winters Awakening

Winter emerges from her slumber, 
dazed and a bit bemused
feeling just a tad encumbered, 
as Autumn leaves with a clap of thunder,
Winter realizes it's her moment, 
Her time to reign over heaven and earth,
a silhouette of wondrous radiance, 
she stands so pure and sparkling, 
I can see and feel  her presence,
but the world shivers from her essence,
the icy cold breath that envelopes them
is a white frosty blanket of snow,
even though they know she's coming
they still grumble and complain, 
they bluster, bristle and never prepare
for the beauty we encounter, 
as Winter gives her icy stare.
