Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.

Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.

kisses.'

luxury of thinking so.'

a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.'

about the heat.'
