A poem about earth, air, water, and/or fire in winter.
Winter Wonders
red tinted yonder
tinged with faint yellow
there, in the higher skies
caress the gaze full of wonder
to let it glow
kindle a fire in the eyes
linger, as hearts grow fonder
for ardent autumn skies
that will fade away
and the last fluttering leaves to behold
will be replaced by clarity
of colder days
when snow angels fly through the winter breeze
to dance and play;
paint the sky with the untold
sprinkle the ground with serenity
and let the mystique stays
covered in cold white
with such delight
offer countless warm memories
that will stay down the road;
hold your sense of wonder tightly
for it’s not merely frozen water you see.
