Winter’s Embrace

The air is crisp, the sky is white,
A tranquil hush falls with the night.
The trees stand cloaked in icy lace,
Nature wrapped in winter’s embrace.

Snowflakes twirl, a fleeting dance,
A fleeting spell, a frostbound trance.
Each flake a whisper, soft and pure,
A fleeting beauty to endure.

The world seems still, yet life abounds,
In quiet ways, in subtle sounds.
The crunch of snow beneath our feet,
The warmth of hearth, a welcome treat.

Winter whispers, “Rest awhile,
Find peace within my icy smile.”
Though cold may linger, hearts grow bright,
In winter’s calm, we find the light.
