Snowy Days and Candle Flames

I love winter.

The cold, biting air.

The snow that falls with no sound.

The bright sun’s glare

From the white, frozen ground.

I love winter.

It makes every door an entry way

Into a warm and cozy lair.

When a bright, white blanket falls on a snowy day

All I want is to sit in the warmth and stare.

I love winter.

A time when I can sit quietly in my life.

Staring out the window at the snow like a picture frame

A hot cup of tea bringing warmth, like a knife,

Cutting through the chills of snowy days

And the peace of candle flames.
