On a Night of Snow
On a night of snow, when the world is hushed,
Under a sky where the stars are brushed,
The earth sleeps under a blanket white,
Enveloped in the quiet of the winter night.
Flakes fall softly, a gentle lace,
Each a whisper in time and space.
Trees stand still in their frosted attire,
Guardians of the night, silent and dire.
Footprints weave a solitary tale,
Through the woods, along the trail.
In the stillness, a tranquility grows,
In the heart of the world, on a night of snow.
The moon casts a silvery, tranquil glow,
On the undisturbed canvas below.
A world paused, in a moment so rare,
Captured in the stillness of the winter air.
