Winters slumber

Winters slumber
The icy wind in winter,
Shows the beauty of the heat of the sun,
As it warms the skin against the winds chill.
The dark blue winter skies
Highlight the symmetry of stark branches
Adorning trees in winter’s embrace,
A work of art,
So common yet each unique,
Their simple presence bringing joy.
The dancing leaves
Also have their whirling song
That soothes shattered nerves,
Quieting the mind in contemplation.
Cool nights
In warm beds with covers thick,
Bring a peace not found in summer’s darkness,
Sleep, deeper, longer, more peaceful,
The gift that cold gives us,
Allowing us to partake in winters slumber.
