I make way into my eager holiday The lengthy wait is finally complete I start the count to the snowy mount Through the busy street towards the icy fleet
Yonder the plain that stretches barren and vain With occasional trees seasoned in white grease Across aged meadows that slip into shadows While the dusky breeze sets into a freeze
Onto narrow highways into the thick haze Through blurring sight into shrinking light Until I pull in at my holiday inn To escape the bite of the shivering night
Awakened by the morn to the jingles of a bourn I speculate the worth of a winter's hearth But huddling inside while snow cuddled outside Would warrant the mirth of the frosty earth
I roll over to find the windows uncover The majestic streaks of snow clad peaks Upon great mounds faring unknown bounds As the sun seeks to reflect in their creeks
Ignited is my thrill amidst the winter chill By the life-sized postcard of the beauty unbounded I am so replete with the visual treat That I stand grounded and stare dumbfounded
Those masses of nature an exquisite beauty feature With their splendor a painter's glee they render I gaze further into those heaps of grandeur To myself surrender to my life's cold wonder
Their white passion incites my imagination Weaving unreal feats on the ice-cold sheets On a fun crusade in their snowy seas I wade Swim in their sheaths and surf on their pleats
I glide on hopes along their steep slopes Across rough bumps sliding down their slumps Through slippery twists onto their secret trysts Over hidden humps leaping over their jumps
I soar so proud on their cottony cloud The snowflakes glow in my enchanting flow I ride their heights to reach over summits And there I slow to paint my own shadow
Blinded by the beauty of the nature's bounty I watch un-winking my daydreams unthinking Until the ice begins to melt my eyes And my heart sinking I resume blinking
I sigh aloud at this wonderful prelude To an ultimate getaway that takes my breath away As I dress for fun under the winter's sun The frozen sands lay enticing a glorious day!
