Winter love

The love of winter is as harsh as it is breathtaking

As warmth freezes into a devotion that only melts slowly

As lovely as the quiet that comes with a layer of snow

As quickly as frost covers a window, as swift as a breath of icy wind

They smile like a early flower, a beautiful decay halted by a frosty touch

Breath halts as it’s stolen away in a wide-eyed instant

A mountain hiding treasures hidden in crystaline forms

The tiniest but most stunning gifts in thousands

An avalanche of emotion

A secret cave hidden in the snow

But a frozen lake can be as deadly as a fire

It leaves, frost in its wake

But the remebrance of a million moments lingers like ice

Returning again when it steals the warmth

And replaces it again with the wonder of cold
