Winter’s First Snow

First Winter Poem

The first flakes dance so silent is the swirling show
A winter’s kiss where autumn’s warmth did glow
The world transformed into a canvas white
A quite hush descends into the peaceful night

What secrets lie beneath this icy veil
A frozen pond a forest grey and pale
Trees now bare between their branches high
Reveal the stars that light the endless sky

What creatures brave this cold and winter’s chill
The hardy winged souls who persevere still
A cardinal’s flash a vibrant splash of red so bright
A chickadee’s chirp echoes in the dark of night

These feathered friends who call my backyard home
Defy the frost and bravely face the winter storms
A testament to life enduring strong and true
In Nature’s grasp they forever shine for me and you.
