Snowflakes are falling like a gift of white.
The classic landscape burns incessant, bright.
Old panes picture, literally, scores of frost.
No single note of music has been lost.
I hold your thoughts across a world of space,
Watching the colors dance in my fireplace.
Your message came on wings of winter birds,
'True poets give themselves away in words.'
