Cold Poem
Night enfolds in a darkened shroud,
Hush falls, deep and proud.
Chill carries stories untold,
Icy grasp, secrets old.
Bare branches quiver in frosty air,
Shadows dance, graceful, fair.
Snowflakes descend, silent plea,
Delicate dance, celestial spree.
World cloaked in pristine white,
Canvas pure, starry night.
Cold paints with winter's chill,
Crafting beauty, unmatched skill.
Frozen lakes, mirrors to soul,
Moon reflects, silver role.
Cold whispers secrets confide,
Quiet moments, stories reside.
Air crisp, breath serene,
Tranquil peace, sleeping scene.
Cold's gentle touch, subtle grace,
Winter whispers, hearts embrace.
