Sounds of Winter

Sounds of winter in the air
cranes flying south, who knows where
crystal cold hanging in the clouds
bits of frost blanket flowers like a shroud
golden leaves flitting to the ground
each one falling, but creates no sound
soon the snows come in and fall
drifting to make snowdrifts tall
ice laden trees look like fairy land
the quiet of cold, few understand
big coats, big boots, mittens and hats
without them death can come just like THAT
winter's coming, this time I love
I take the time to thank the Lord above
for the blessing of this wondrous season
perhaps to love it, one has lost all reason
It is soon here and the wind tells me so
I, for one, am happy to see hot summers go
if you come to this frozen home in which I live
all I have is a tiny bit of advice to give
live it, love it, don't fight the ice and cold
embrace it, face it ~ in time you will be sold
to the beauty that I tell you of now
and when spring comes you can take a bow
for you lived through a time of snow and ice
and you survived ~ can you do it twice?
