Winter Splendor
A hush settled over the diminutive valley
The pine trees dressed in Christmas splendor
Whispered tales of wonder and endurance
The ice maiden has touched the waterfall
She will keep it suspended in her frigid grip
Turning the sheer wall of flowing water
Into a white wispy veil of impenetrable beauty
Hark to the wind reciting his ageless melody
While the creatures inhabiting the land go to sleep
Only the moon and the stars watch in silence
While the lights from the village linger momentarily
Then, darkness lays siege to the day.
