Snowfalls



Indigo coldness
obscures starlight
twinkles are lost
hidden from the sight

porch lights distant
shining bright
flickering starbursts
descending from the sky

crystals fragile
in frigid air
blankets the walkways
cold and bare

bundled deeply
seeking warmth
visions of summer
flow in my mind

half heard rumbles
steel scrapes
scattering crystals
hard and dry

rivers flow
through the night
herding the storm
to far away

radiant beams
warmth away
as glittering starlight
now appears

shines forth sunlight
new dawning day
as endless rainbows
spring into the view

enthalpy clings
to sparkling light
ascending the hill
of energy gain

crystals do slowly
with changing state
droplets become
and flow away

breeze slowly warming
attacking the chill
bright blinding sunlight
stealing away sight
