Listening to the sounds of the first frost

Pay attention and you will hear the magic.

By Cheryl E PrestonPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

In the darkness of early morning

When the air is brisk and cool

Long before the sun reveals it's face

The vibrations of the first frost

Make a joyful noise upon the earth

Delighting my senses with style and grace

Loud crackling beneath my feet

Resognates with every careful step I take

Like fireplace logs as they pop

The crepetation is music to my ears

Reverberating through the atmosphere

Each time my footsteps drop

Chiming loudly the ice particles crunch

Announcing it's their season

Frozen vapor crystals boldly resound

Sparking like jewels swishing and creaking

As I continue my trek before sunrise

Trepedaciously across the chilly icey ground
