Cold Mountain Whispers
On Cold Mountain's breath, a whisper rides, Where snowflakes dance, and silence hides. Beneath a sky of endless grey, The peaks stand tall, in proud array. A world untouched, by warmth or sun, Where streams are still, and shadows run. The air so crisp, it sings a tune, Of ancient tales, and winter's boon. Here, among the silent stone, The mountain's cold, becomes my own. A place of peace, where thoughts are clear, Cold Mountain's whisper, I hold dear.

Echoes of the Cold Mountain
Amid winter's grasp, so deep and vast, Where silence swathes the frost's chill cast, The mountain looms, both stern and grand, A vigilant sentinel o'er the slumbering land. Its peaks, cloaked in snow's pure shroud, Pierce the sky, bold and unbowed. Beneath the moon's soft, silver glow, The mountain whispers secrets, low. The pines, in frosty armor clad, Keep watch, silent and sad. Their boughs bear the weight of snow, Bending gracefully, in a bow. The wind, a sculptor, sharp and cold, Carves the snow in shapes bold. Its voice, a haunting, ancient song, Echoes the mountain paths along. In the chill, where breath turns to mist, The mountain's beauty, by sun, is kissed. A world in white, pure and serene, Reveals the magic, seldom seen.
