WINTER DREAMING

The moon ever silent, cold and still
Shining brightly on my home
With stillness and quiet
Brings peace to my soul

Clouds moving with stealth
Sneeking silently over the tree tops
Dark and menacing  yet part of the night
Boiling and rolling ever on

I stand in wonder and watch with joy
While flakes of snow begin to fall
Glinting like jewels in the moon light
Drifting ever so softly to the ground

Feathers from angels wings
Must float like these snowflakes
Pure, white, gleaming in the moonlight
Landing on my shoulders so silently

Peace comes to my heart
And thoughts drift to many places
But linger mostly with my youth
When snow fall announced each day of winter

Cleaning the ground, rooftops and barren trees
Making the world fade into my dreams
Of castles in the sky with angels winging softly
To ease the hurt and pains of us meer mortals

With visions of castles in the sky
Warm and cozy with all the comforts
No longer struggling day to day
Smiling with happiness and content

Blanketed by the snow
Blending like the moonbeams through the trees
Into the crystal glints of the fallen angel feathers
These are some of my winter dreams
