Vast White Plains

These grassy plains now blanket covered
As November rears his Yule brother
Sickles they form from the once blossoming trees

No flake bears resemblance to their kin
As intricate designs fall from the ethereal to our feet
In a manic depression they learn to fall

One by one after hearing the call
The stark dead ground awaits the arrival
For the vast whiteness must come forth day and night

As they reflect the sun’s rays and illumine just right
The cold winters air that knows no loving warmth

The only embrace takes place inside
As families revel and seem to forget

The frost that pierces our hearts
The snow reveries they begin
As the dawn of a day begins deep within
The satanic hero the ice that forms on water

Crystallized up and ready for all even sons and daughters
Christmas day has finally come
And all forgotten of what consumes the earth

White tidal waves that seek to crush
All under the wretched frozen waves
And the abysmal dawn overshadowed by gifts

The white vastness backs down for no man

The first work I'm publishing on this site...as you can see I'm not the best grammatically, but the way in which I write in a sort of disorganized fashion is a window for those around me into how my mind operates.

Very, very, very nice! And this is coming from a summery, Jewish girl. :P
