The dawn breathes silver, soft and still,
A quiet hush on vale and hill.
First frost alights with fleeting grace,
A crystal veil on nature’s face.
Each blade of grass, a jeweled wand,
A fleeting gift from winter’s hand.
Boughs etched in lace, a fragile sheen,
A fleeting dream, serene, pristine.
The air, a song of sharp delight,
Carries whispers through the night.
A promise held in icy glow,
Of snowdrifts soft and fires’ warm glow.
Yet as the sun begins to rise,
The frost retreats, a shy surprise.
It dances briefly, then takes flight,
A fleeting guest of dawn and light.
Oh, winter comes with frost’s first kiss,
A fleeting brush of timeless bliss.
And though it melts, its magic stays,
A hint of snowbound, wonder-filled days.
