winter's beautiful tricks

winter's a trickster,

a child who likes to play innocent tricks.

it heard us say

"it doesn't snowed here much"

and talk about how mild-tempered it is.

so it decided to play the best prank yet,

and at the same time,

turn us into liars.

***

but what a pretty trick it is,

turning our world into a snow globe,

twisting it round and round,

watching the snow fluttering about,

twirling in the air,

then landing gently,

covering the earth

in the purest form of white.

***

so yes,

winter's a trickster,

but what beautiful tricks it plays.
