Snowball
In a world awash with winter's hue,
A sphere of snow, small and true,
Rolled through the whispering, white expanse,
Embracing each flake in its silent dance.
It grew in size, a rolling tide,
Gathering dreams that winter hides,
Each layer a story, a frozen thought,
Of battles fought and lessons taught.
Through the pines, it wove its path,
A gentle giant, spurred by nature's math,
In its core, the warmth of yesterdays,
Preserved in cold, in winter's embrace.
Atop a hill, it paused to rest,
A monument in snow, nature's guest,
Gazing upon the twilight's glow,
The snowball shimmered, in peace, aglow.
As stars alight, the heavens' eyes,
The snowball's journey, under frosty skies,
Reminds us of the simple joy,
In winter's gift, a timeless toy.
