What Winter Looks Like

White Grey Winter

By Jahnari RoséPublished about a year ago 2 min read

Gloomy skies cry in the icy cold,

Frosted blades of grass cover the ground,

Ice studed sheets reach across the top of every car.

The streets are faded in the distance of the mist and shine like the stars up close.

What will winter bring,

My breath becomes visible and almost solid,

The beautiful trees that were once saturated with colorful leaves have grown decrepit and empty,

They mimic their roots into the sky clinging on to life as they try to tough it out through the cold,

The fallen leaves grow old and lose their vibrant shades,

The constant crunching as life walks all over them leaving pieces soon to be gone with the wind.

What will winter leave,

Soon the sky will begin to blanket everywhere around with the purest form of its tears frozen over,

The trees will be complemented by the ice-cold frosting nature's cruel gift,

The ground will be covered in soft white diamonds that carry the blinding reflection of the sun's light.

The sky will be hazed by the beautiful flurries as the snow falls gracefully to the floor.

What does winter mean,

We break out of shovels and snow machines, Making fine lines and opening up old spaces that became blocked in.We shatter any ice that dangerous lingers around us,

While there is still room for fun,

The endless supplies for building forts and snow soldiers with a carrot for a nose.The infinite snow battles where you can reload for almost forever.

Winter is a gift,I was born in a season meant to keep people together.

A season filled with warm fragrant spices, gallons of hot chocolate with tasty marshmallows to top it, and a finish of whipped cream,

A season where you can share with others and show your hearts love,

A season filled with beautiful lights and decorations that show the bliss of creativity,

This is the peak of the year.

Winter brings an ending and a beginning,

The fall was there to prepare you for an end,

The spring comes to carry you into the new,

Winter looks like everything I love to live for,

Winter is Cold,

Winter is Warm,

Winter is Love,

Winter is Destruction,

Winter is Creation,

Winter is the artist and canvas,

Winter is Colorful,

Winter is wonderful,

Winter looks like my soul.
