Snow Poem 5
In the heart of winter's chill, Where silence roams, and time stands still, Snowflakes fall, each a whisper light, Crafting veils of white, under the night. The world transforms, under their spell, Forests and fields, in silence dwell, A hush, a breath, a moment caught, In the beauty of the snow, thought by thought. Children's laughter breaks the calm, Sleds and snowmen, winter's balm, A joyous dance, in the frosty air, Creating memories, here and there. Beyond the play, the world in white, Holds a peace, beyond the night, A promise kept, with every flake, Of spring to come, for the earth to wake. In this canvas vast and wide, Where dreams and snowflakes coincide, The soul finds rest, in the winter's hold, A story of warmth, in the cold, told.

Inspirations Behind
The inspiration for “Snow Poem 5” came from watching the first heavy snowfall of the season through the window.

Later, the sounds of children playing in the snow, their laughter and the sight of makeshift sleds and snowmen, filled the air with a different kind of magic.

It was a moment of realizing how snow stitches together moments of peace and excitement, creating a tapestry of winter memories.
