Woke Up To Winter Contest

I woke to a blustery, windy, chill, Rushing through my windowsill, The room was dark, I lit a candle to find my way, I was far from home on a frozen covered bay, As the light switch went on to my surprise, The world as I knew it was polished and winterized, From inside it seemed marvelous and surreal, Until I opened the door and had a quick feel, The trees shimmered and sparkled, the ground was like fine glass, This moment of glory, was an image I could not pass, Though outside was like the artic, its beauty was a wonderland, The wind consumed with ice pellets hit the house like grains of sand, The porch was filled with crystals a shiny mirror for my feet, I put on my boots and allowed the ice and I too meet, The smoke that floated from my lips was as if I had just put a fire out, I only lasted a few moments before the warmth in me made my insides want to shout, I spent the rest of the day by the wooden stove with hot chocolate on demand, Taking in this piece of art work, an original, from the master’s hands.
