Winter Song

 

To melodious tunes in starry eyed dreams-

comes surrender to scores adrift on airy skies

Sparkling glint of reflections in the windswept view,

brings lulled wonder with music's delightful rise

 

Snowflakes dancing on breaths of winter's wail,

whirl to trailing notes that nature's fifers play

Icy crystals that twinkle with captured light,

gently sifts through trees and gathers in the ley

 

Layered in gleaming white, further than eyes can see,

symphony sweeps the scapes with its spangled sheen

Faces in the windows, transfixed by sights and sounds,

share their joyful whispers for the unfolding scene

 

Hearts readied to slip away in the cover of night

to conquer slops on polished rails, spurred by every thrill

Warmly dressed and out the door- follows season's allure

laughter's bundle of wishes seeks contentment's fill

 

With running starts, off you go - riding memories for life,

breathless stance atop the hill, waiting turns to slide,

Set adrift on winter winds - playing another song,

sounds of children in their world where dreams reside

 

*****

To melodious tunes in starry eyed dreams-

comes surrender to scores adrift on airy skies

Sparkling glint of reflections in the windswept view,

brings lulled wonder with music's delightful rise
