Winters' Night

The day melts away like a snowflake, the river of time has now become simply ice,
And all has slowed to a halt, now the silence of the night is just too precise.

The only ones left moving are the birds in this sky, they’re little dots of grey in this pool of darkness,
They glide so quickly through the air, flying free, with no one to impress.

The ice has settled like many panes of glass, each one as delicate as the last,
Each so easy to shatter and destroy, its small existence can be gone so fast.

Stinging rain and chill winter winds, wearing away at the skin,
Blackness so vast in the sky, only the stars let the journeys begin.

Each little star is seen through the frosty air, lighting up something inside and out,
Shining like there is no end, it hears the many wishes, it takes away the doubt.

Now the cold begins to settle, becomes like a winter mask, holding the world together,
But as soon as the first spring breeze comes, it falls lightly away like a floating feather.

But tonight is winter, and tonight it is dark, the glistening snow twinkles at the stars as they twinkle back,
Everything connects, except the person standing there, breaking the ice with their track.

Even a shadow can ruin this peace, this peace of night like a pure raindrop from above.
This winter’s night begins to fade, and this pure white snow flies away like a perfect dove.
