Frost

Winter either bites with its teeth or lashes with its tail. ~Proverb

Winter is the heart of sharp, vicious beauty 

It spreads across the land like a thin film of ice forming, 

blooming outward and downward, 

reaching out into the soil and gripping the earth with a frozen hand.

When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
~B. Cybrill

The Land thaws with the coming of Christmas
Because hearts warm a little

The lights shine on the snow

Like stars, only nearer

But all to soon the cold comes creeping back

If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
~Percy Bysshe Shelly

I say enjoy the snow while you can.
