Where the great winds convene
their dreams to realise
In a world of snow mountains
cold and dazzling white
Hard as the piercing rays
searing the hour
of a winter sunrise.
Daylight begins to fade
and the dilapidated remains
of a desolate dusk
Begin to perish
in the silence of a crepuscular firmament
While the vernal skies
weep myriad flakes of snow
in a shower of lachrymose lament
That dapple the spectral breath
of an early morning mist
As it turns to a crisp gauze
brittle as a hibernal morn
and blankets the dormant land
In the frosted shroud of silent desolation.
