Ice Queen Party

that first winter day
one dreams of each year

that  first snow covers shy and thin
the leaves left on the trees

that  sparkling sun warmly shines
letting the snowflakes glitter

that bright light touches eyes
reflecting the joy of the moment

watching the footsteps behind me
in that  virginal meadow

feeling the intense warmth
embracing me completely
 
standing still and receiving
today’s glorious gifts just for me
