Winter's Breath with it's chilling stare,

desends upon the land.

With one swift wave of her hand,

she imprisons us with her coldest embrace,

so that we seek refuge from her aquaintance.

 Although her kiss can be deadly,

her beauty mesmerizes.

Comanding us to search her depths,

while she demonstrates her power over us.

Demanding our utmost attention to her wiles.

 When she cries, she fills all with her beauty.

Tiny frozen flakes of moisture covers us,

Creating a scenic landscape of pure white.

Setting the scene of tranquility,

that fills our hearts and minds of yesteryear.

 When she laughs, she freezes all with her coverlet,

of pure icey mirror-like splendor.

Treachous to those who venture it's depths.

Eye pleasing to those who prefer to sit and stare,

upon winter's breath sweet touch of power.

 Always longing for her touch of awareness,

that nips at our faces with a bitter revenge.

Waking us from her breast,

till spring overtakes with her blossom of color.

This welcome kiss of still more to come....
