Glistening Memories

Midnight settles on snow-draped ground,
in cold that wraps the silent trees,
soft flakes descend without a sound,
stillness stretches, endless seas.

Inward whispers touch the air,
overwhelmed by winter’s bite,
under stars, I search and stare,
glistening dreams, a distant light.

Seeking warmth beneath the sky,
overhead, the moonlight glows,
gathering strength as night goes by,
reaching out, a love that shows.

Softly through the endless night,
every breath brings echoes deep,
voices lost within the white,
again I wander, memories keep.

In the frost, my footsteps slow,
nighttime stretches far and wide,
steadfast stars above still glow,
hints of warmth, though far, abide.

Never-ending winter’s gaze,
fields lie silent, still, and stark,
underneath this sky, I praise,
memories kindling in the dark.

Gathering all I’ve come to know,
old hopes settled deep within,
winter’s cold and moonlit glow,
remnants of your warmth begin.

Yearn for spring that’s yet to be,
often lost, yet feeling found,
until then, I’ll wait and see,
rising hope beneath the ground.

Over icy fields I tread,
winds that chill still move with grace,
gentle warmth resides instead,
inviting calm within this space.

Underneath the frozen sky,
reasons shift and dreams unfold,
winter's silence, soft, awry,
holding close what once was gold.

Rising sun will meet my eyes,
as the frost begins to break,
morning hues that paint the skies,
bring a warmth I long to take.

Wandering paths that lie ahead,
all unknown but full of light,
reaching through what winter said,
morning gives a hopeful sight.

Across the fields, a glow appears,
melting snow reveals what’s true,
beauty born from all my fears,
endless warmth that comes from you.

Reflections in the winter's chill,
trace the lines that time has drawn,
hopeful dreams that linger still,
endless warmth to carry on.

Memory stays through each cold night,
inward flames that never cease,
settling now in morning's light,
still, I find my heart at peace.

Through the cold, I see the dawn,
heralding a gentle glow,
tender whispers pull me on,
healing warmth that starts to grow.

Hopeful dreams in winter’s hold,
every moment, longing stays,
now I face what lies untold,
trusting love to guide my way.
