Winter’s like a rainbow in dreams of hours
Everything in stillness and times bound
Frosty little glistening snowflakes flowers
On the earth and everywhere around
Feel the cold in the air and on your face
Deep in the morning of the rising sun
Yesterday’s fallen snow on the sideways
In shimmering glassy of cold reflection
Time is here silent in the rising day
With no one around coming or going through
Only the tinctures in white glow play
With everything lucid in its lay new
Dreams of the winter are lonely and still
Promises tomorrow in coldness shall fill
Peter S. Quinn
