Snow Poem 6
Amidst the quiet of falling snow,
A whispering wind begins to blow,
It carries tales from far and wide,
Of ancient woods where secrets hide.
Each snowflake, like a fleeting dream,
Glides silently over stream and beam,
Laying a path, so soft, so bright,
Under the watchful eye of night.
In the village, lights flicker and fade,
As people seek warmth from the winter's shade,
Gathered 'round fires, stories unfold,
Of winters past, and legends old.
The snowflakes weave a spell, so rare,
Blanketing the earth with care,
Transforming all with a silent grace,
Into a wonderland, a sacred space.
As dawn breaks, and night gives way,
The world awakens to a snowy day,
Each branch and leaf, a work of art,
A testament to winter's heart.
