Snowcapped lace in Sunshine

Nature shrouded in icy perfection.

Today dawns with the beginning of frost

battling with the sun for relevance.

Ethereal mists

O'er snow-capped heights...tender lace

Nature's shroud embraced

'''''''''

Yawning...dewdrops spill

Wrapped in icy perfection

Day awakens...earth frozen

..........

Sleepy eyes open languidly

wrapped in hearth's warmth

The sun shivers knowingly

It's got work to do

........

It may not yet winter be

But Hearts know well the seasons

They speak, we listen

With open minds...

we see the first frosts approach

Beyond the veil...Infinite it stretches

Beyond time... it speaks in icy tones

Through the thickets...chill approaches

Encouraging fortitude, for winter too

Soon will enter the stillness, not far behind

Nature whispers sweet nothings to the land

soothing it to a new beginnings

Winter's first frost a warning -

On snow capped lace.

    This poem really captures that sharp feeling when the frost first hits. You used such lovely images to describe the sun and the cold battling it out. A great look at the start of winter.
