Cold Winter Night
Beneath the cloak of a cold winter night,
Whispers of frost on the breeze take flight.
Stars twinkle above in a silver array,
Painting the dark with a cold, gentle sway.
The moon, a guardian, full and bright,
Casts upon snow a soft, ethereal light.
Trees stand in silence, their branches bare,
Holding the weight of the cold they wear.
Breaths form clouds, floating then fade,
In the quiet world that the winter made.
Footsteps echo on the snow's crisp sheet,
Marking the rhythm of wandering feet.
In this serene, frozen time and space,
The world finds beauty in winter's embrace.
A moment of peace, under night's chill spell,
In the heart of the cold, where quiet stories dwell.
