Winter Can Be Beautiful
Winter can be so very
radiant  you know,
when the light shines
like diamonds upon her snow.

Watch your breath
swirling up in the air.
It drifts away beautifully
and makes you wonder where.

If you hear crunch crunch
as you walk quietly on,
you know it's cold
as you shuffle along.

Listen to the silence in the night.
Pure tranquility, sheer delight.
Stand a moment, look around.
Not too long, you might get frostbite.

Winters solemn beauty,
an icy cold peace.
Winter is different
to say the least.

Winter can be so very
beautiful you know,
when the light shines
like diamonds upon her snow!
