Sea of Snow (updated)

The Sea of Snow          

            

Sparkling crystals,

A glassy show.

Icicles dripping,

Into a sea of snow.

An ocean of white,

A gale of wind,

A sea of crystals,

Outside and within.

A mini blizzard,

For miles around,

Flurries and snowflakes,

Covering the ground.

Icy blasts,

A storm of white.

Snow so cold,

In the cover of night.

Now it is calm,

The sea of snow,

A silent wonderland,

With a crystal glow.

With shimmering ice,

The trees are coated,

Joy to the world,

Sings a robin, red-throated.

The waves are still,

The sky is blue,

On snow so bright,

The sun shines true.

I am afraid,

I must confess,

I could go blind,

In this dazzling mess.

So from the window

I will go,

Leaving behind a sparkling,

Shimmering, icy,

Sea of snow.
