Snow Poem 4
Beneath the cloak of winter's night,
The world lies hushed, the moon so bright.
A canvas spread, untouched, pristine,
A landscape wrapped in silvery sheen.
The river, still, beneath ice's hold,
Reflects the stars, bold, yet cold.
Around, the pines, in snowdrifts deep,
Guard secrets that the shadows keep.
A fox treads softly, leaving behind
A trail of steps, so neatly lined.
Its amber eyes, a flicker, a glow,
A life ignited by the snow.
The air, crisp, with a whisper thin,
Carries the promise of a dawn to begin.
As night recedes, the horizon's light,
Hints at the day, beyond the night.
And so, the snow, a master's art,
Draws from the silence, a world apart.
Each flake, a breath, a word, a dream,
Weaving together the winter's theme.
