'Winter' by Michelle
Long nights
Short days
Fleeting glimpses of the sun’s weak rays
Torrential rain
Gales and sleet
Numb fingers
Frozen feet
Black ice
Freezing rain
Hazardous journeys
By foot, car or train
But oh the joy
How our hearts glow
When we wake to discover a blanket of snow!
Brief days
Endless nights
All forgotten
As we gaze in delight
The bleak, grey canvas
That had been
Now erased and replaced by a perfect snow scene.
