A curtain of snowflakes drifts
The night sifts filigree snow
Where does the homesick heart go?
Lattice frost glitters on asphalt
I breathe in cold air and halt
Wind rushes through treetops
Snow softly plops
This Winter Wonderland, ice castle dream
I exhale thankfulness, puffing steam
Heart thudding
Serenity budding
Stamp.........stamp ........
stamp my feet
Catch the rhythm of Winter's beat
Feel the flow of blood surging
to face and ears
A trickle of tears jeers, all those lost years
Acrid, burning frozen skies
The sadness of a hundred goodbyes
There isn't anything to criticize
I watch as time stands still yet flies
Your love,
here,
I recognize
