Give Me the White Give me the white of a fresh fallen snow Glittering softly in sun’s early glow Crystalline blanket on meadow and hill Echoing silence and lone morning trill Give me a soft breeze that kicks up the crust Swirled winter whispers in whirlwinds of dust Brushing the cheek with a powdery slice Of tingling touches of fine crispy ice Give me the pureness in breaths of delight Filtered by snowflakes that fell in the night Fill up my lungs with the pureness of air And leave me in silence and wonderment there Bundled in warmth by the rapture of dreams Awed by the icy white magical scenes Elizabeth Santos |
