Winter Fairy

Everything is eerily still and quiet

The air is clear;morning feigns alive

Yet nature lies asleep in chilled bliss

Hiding from Winter's cheerlessness

Dying roses fade under a sprinkle of icy dust

The wind bites visciously and the birds are ahush

A Silence settles in around his close friends

Cold and Gloom delight in in making the earth cringe

The meadow once pleasant and blooming

Now lies under a spell of the season fairies' choosing

She is Winter herself bearing a wand and a grin

Wherever she flutters warmth and happiness ends

She dashes the fragrance of lilies sweet

Trickling streams freeze beneath her dainty feet

Harsh is her magic and quite deadly to some

All growing beauty does cease when she comes

Vibrant colors of life become only distant memory

Stark white and Dismal grey stand unfriendly

Creatures of the forest scamper to their dark holes

Avoiding day and the foreboding bitter cold

The pale faced fairy  continues sprinkling without a sound

Till a blanket light as feathers lies seeping into the ground

No pleading or war can stop her curse

She keeps on never resting,ever sure

In her own way her beauty does glisten

Like drops of water escaping their icycle prison

Her peircing blue eyes are alight under frosty black lashes

Streaks like lightning run through her coal black tresses

Her complexion remains alike to the moon

A wry smile is formed on lips as -stark- as tombs

The prescence of her opaque wings

The mellow tune in whispered tones she sings

The gaze from which her satisfaction glows

Lets all of nature and life know

Gone is Spring's flourish,gone is Summer's glory ,gone is Autumn's cheer

Bid new tidings,Winter is here!
