The stars are glistening in the frost bitten sky,

so numerous that their numbers are not known.

But rest assured that they are in the millions,

soon these stars will be mingling with snowflakes.

****

A huge vault of snowflakes was opened today,

sending millions of snowflakes falling to the earth.

Its  said that each snowflake its not the same,

But they melt  to quickly for us to compare them.

****

The heavens open up with a new coat of snow,

its white lustrous color covers the waiting earth.

A fresh blanket for all of the children to marvel at,

patiently waiting for all the kids to make a snowman.

****

For the falling snow has no master to answer to,

once unleashed the snow goes where it feels like.

But at some point has to fall upon our frozen earth,

kids in colored parkas go out to make snow angels.

****

The differently shaped snowy orbs invade our lives,

their white beauty causing havoc on the people below.

Men wearing snowsuits and gloves are shoveling snow,

only to get warm to scrape it off of their frozen cars.

****

But the wintry months signals old man winters reign,

his ancient eyes are like diamonds and a wide smile.

For a  short while he will sit on his ice covered throne,

then pass it onto madam Spring when it comes her turn.

****

So enjoy this cold winter galaxy while it is still around,

like everything else it comes and goes in a blink of an eye.

Put up a Christmas tree with lots of lights and candy canes,

for Christmas Eve Santa Clause will make his annual visit.
