Somber Winter

Blowing through the breeze

 Such a somber thing

 A subtle white

 A glistening crystal.

Floating through a morning breeze

A snowflake clear as glass

Flies across snowy plains

 At the height of frostfall.

A ghostly white

 Clouds the blue of the sky

 All the colours have been drained

 And replaced with this hazy white.

 Little children, small and large

Open doors, open hearts

Come out and rejoice in the cold

 Imagination runs rampart through crowded streets.

 Balls of snow fly across the sky

Landing upon the white once more

Created by hand, thrown by hand

 Snowball fights ensue.

 Winter is here, winter is here

Let the children suffer no more

 Step into its chilling confines

And enjoy a short winter with me.
