Sugary hills.

Cold-biting breezes sweep sugary hills

as autumn is bitten by wintery chills.

And silky white snowdrifts, frozen in time,

enfold, like waves suspended.

Heavenly jewels sparkle bright

on powdered seas, where diamonds shine.

They shimmer on fields in tides of snow,

winking their crystal eyes at those

who promised their lovers the stars.

On kittens' feet, they come at night,

adrift, like feathers, floating light;

swaying to the hush of a Christmas song

whose winter chorus flutters along

to the lyrics of a whispering wind.

On kitten's feet
they come at night,
adrift like feathers
floating light;
swaying to the hush
of a lonely song,
whose wintry ballad
flutters along,
to the lyrics
of a whispering
wind...
