Muffled Wonderland


            Waking up to a crisp white world
            with clear blue skies over head
            muffling the sounds of our lives
            nature wrapped up in its snowy bed

            tiny paw prints seen over the land
            from scurrying creatures homeward bound
            while a Robin chirps from the garden wall
            wonder where his next meal will be found

            icicles hanging down from  branches
            sparkling in the cold winter's light
            a strange scene that's frozen in time
            creating a wonderland so bright

            stillness felt that calms the soul
            delicate snowflakes like patterned lace
            as sun glistens across the landscape
            peace is experienced within this place
