A Wintry Tune 'Twas the night before the dawn When sweet darkness covered me, Quiet filled the star lit sky And everywhere I see, Golden lights aglow From houses warmed by fire And children dancing to and fro All dressed in sleep attire. Then smoke from chimneys swirl As the cold night air chills, I watch the smoke just twirl and twirl Across the snowy hills, Then music fills the air From chapel down the road As people dressed in muffs and furs In horse drawn carriage rode. The crystalline iced snow Sparkles under the reflecting moon, And every crunchy step you take Forms a wintry tune My soul is filled with joy Yet with a heavy heart My story's coming to an end Soon winter must depart And once again the summer days Will slowly melt my heart.

You paint a lovely picture with your words, well done. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

A very pretty song, Floria. Here in Florida we don't see much Winter. In Silver Springs we may get a few days of freeze but rarely snow. Thanks for reminding me how beautful a wintry night can be.  -newell Sharing God's Love through |

Suthern, hmmm, everyone thinks I am nuts, But I love rain, and ice, the coating the trees take on with an ice storm is so gorgeous, Nothing compare to it.And rain, Oh I love rain....but I do not like to drive in heavy rain or ice storms. thanks floria |

Another gorgeous season poem, Floria... I, too love the nasty weather for some reason which I have never been able to fathom. It seems to be a poet thing. I think that rainy and snowy days have a lot more soul than the sunny warm ones....which, of course, have their own kind of beauty if you like beautiful sunny days. Thanks for sharing.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |
