The Snow Bird
In a realm where winter reigns supreme, There flutters a bird, as if in a dream. Cloaked in feathers as white as the snow, The snow bird dances where cold winds blow. Through the frosty air, it soars with grace, A streak of white in a frozen embrace. Over icy peaks and valleys so deep, It sings a melody, the secrets it keeps. Its song echoes through the silent woods, A hymn of endurance in the winter's moods. With wings spread wide in the chilling air, The snow bird's flight is a dance of rare flair. In the heart of winter, so stark and bold, It tells a story of courage untold. A testament to life's persistent glow, The snow bird thrives where others dare not go.
Summary

Inspirations Behind
I was inspired to write “The Snow Bird” after observing a small, white bird navigating a snowy landscape during a particularly harsh winter. The contrast of its delicate form against the vast, white expanse was striking. This image became a metaphor for resilience and beauty in the face of adversity. The bird’s ability to not just survive but thrive in such conditions spoke to the indomitable spirit of life, a theme I wanted to capture in my poetry.
