Snow Poem 2
Whispers of winter, a silent song,
Sweeps over hills, where hearts belong,
In the dance of flakes, so fine, so light,
A tapestry woven, in the depth of night.
The moon, a sentinel, in the sky so clear,
Illuminates paths that deer hold dear,
Through forests deep, where shadows play,
Snow blankets the earth, in a mystical display.
Beneath the weight of a snowy crown,
The world seems paused, in a quiet down,
Yet beneath the surface, life stirs slight,
Awaiting the thaw, with the return of light.
In the heart of winter's cold embrace,
There's a beauty stark, a timeless grace,
As snowflakes merge, in a silent plea,
Crafting a world, where the soul flies free.
