Wintry Night
The silence of a wintry night,
Shadows and moonlight merge,
Cloaked in frosty white,
Whispers of the past surge.
Trees stand bare, whispers cold,
Branches like hands unfold,
A dance ancient and bold,
Under a sky, silver and gold.
Footprints mark snow's sheet,
A path the brave greet,
Through the hush, earth and sky meet,
In stillness, hearts skip a beat.
The night's chill breathes peace,
A moment where troubles cease,
Wintry night grants release,
A promise of renewal and peace.
