Winter Wilds

The world is shut out
just for a moment
as a white blanket of snow
is laid on the ground.

How silent we all are
as we stare in awe
at winter standing before us.

So still
So peaceful
So quiet.

No matter how low
the temperatures drop
we cannot stop looking
at the white flakes
falling from the sky.

We raise our hands up
and let the heat out
as we dance barefoot
in the cold
like wild banshees
in the wind.

If you listen loud enough,
you might even hear us
howling at the moon.
