Cold Poem
As night enfolds the world in its darkened shroud,
A hush falls, deep and proud.
It carries the chill of stories untold,
In its icy grasp, secrets of the old.
Bare branches quiver, in the frosty air,
A ballet of shadows, graceful and fair.
The snowflakes descend, each a silent plea,
A dance of the delicate, a celestial spree.
They cloak the world in a pristine white,
A canvas pure, under the starry night.
The cold, a painter of unparalleled skill,
Crafting beauty, with a winter's chill.
Frozen lakes, mirrors to the soul,
Reflecting the moon, in a silver role.
The cold, a whisper that seeks to confide,
In the quiet moments, where secrets reside.
A world asleep, under winter's spell,
In its silence, a thousand stories dwell.
The air, crisp and clear, a breath of serene,
A tranquil peace, in a sleeping scene.
The cold, a companion in the night's embrace,
In its gentle touch, a subtle grace.
Whisper of the winter, in its icy song,
A reminder of where hearts truly belong.
