The bitter silence on a winters dawn br Glassy ice begins to form br Shimmering snow blankets the ground br Snowflakes fall but without a sound br Biting frost in the fresh crisp air br Solitary trees stand lonely and bare br The days draw in the sun a spark br The fearless frost has left its mark br The icy wind sharply blows br Fiercely cutting through my clothes br Sparkling flakes drift out the sky br Forming crystals against my eye br Drifting flurries a silent storm br Animals forage for somewhere warm br Fires are burning behind closed doors br Icicles hang off roofs like swords br The punishing night freezes the river br Creating the beauty of a sparkling mirror br A magical show winters perform br The bitter silence on a winters dawnbr br nic hillenbr br
