Give me your name
You are a winter wonder. Are you here to stay?
Where shadows lay,
you paint a fairyland
in super white ice crystals, building mighty cities aglow.
Give me a story freshly told . . .
Lady Frost, where did you go,
When the morning's sun rose?
You played outside and sang aloud
Such a sweet, sweet melody
But it was the shortest song!
Dancing upon every curve,
Turning in each circle drive
Carving out new stories in brand-new ways
Every edge covered
Every moment
Played in three-quarter time.
Precious, beautiful, and fleeting!
Refreshed and reimagined . . .
Here, and then gracefully gone
Traveling to other worlds
A story unfolding
Just for me and you to behold.
