There’s a chill in the air
Sinking into my bones
Nothing else quite compares
Quiet, soft and slow
Crystallized specks of rain
Tapping like revelry
Bringing seasonal change
Clinging to branches and trees
Falling from the sky
Not quite rain not yet snow
Escaping into the night,
To the earth down below
From somewhere in a dream
Paradise perfectly planned
A fabulous flaky scene
A soft place to land
Tender moments of peace
Drifting through the air
Setting spirits free
Washing away every care
Fragile icy film
Numbing my fingertips
Stirring a grin
As it glides over my lips
A sweet childhood sight
Resurrected each year
Filling hearts with delight
And the world with cheer

Nothing like snow. We don't see a lot of it here is Australia. :)
Well captured the fresh magic of a winter fairyland!
