warm side of the cold

winter's life is charming

On chilly nights,

My tears fall like snow in flight,

Lonely and bright,

A ceaseless, endless white.

* * *

In the gray of night,

A tiny bird takes to flight,

Hoping for a bite,

Chirping softly out of sight.

* * *

In still winds, so slight,

A hedgehog moves in quiet delight,

Under the tree's moonlit light,

Dreaming in the grass tonight.
