Winter Melody

In the silence; crystal rains,
Like spirits come to plunder,
White, cold ashes from the sky,
All warmth soon cast asunder,

Spreading like a plague,
All shines in icy gleam,
To take your cloak of summer,
And tear it at the seam,

Lay upon the frozen ground,
The snow that welcomes all,
Listen for the music,
Of it's ever mournful call,

Rest your eyes a moment,
Let the music take it's toll,
Let it bend the steel in your heart,
And reap the fire from your soul.
