Safe Haven

Air, frigid and still

Holds its breath bated as

Leaves sigh with impatience

Birds bemoan, nestling even closer

 

Comfortably arranged, and

Eyes fully agleam,

I wait

For the dance to begin

 

One by one,

Turn by turn,

They drift into the open,

A stage to call their own,

With room to leap

With space to swirl

Light-hearted, care-free, and pure

A ballet to be remembered

 

Too soon they tire, nearing

The end

As the curtain falls

 

Together they rest

on each frozen blade

 

A fine dusting of white

To shelter my safe haven

Author's Note

It snowed here! I wish it would all the time. I hate when it gets all slushy but I love when the flakes are falling :)

One by one,
Turn by turn,
They drift into the open,
A stage to call their own,
With room to leap
With space to swirl
Light-hearted, care-free, and pure

I really love snow! Watching snowflakes fall and catching them on our backyard are two of my hobbies. They look so pure and white and this poem reminded me of those memories although it's really cold at that time.
