Of Sun and Snow

Prolonged nightly vigils later,
of Snow tracing misty sigils
over, a wintry hinterland, 
Boasting layer upon layer
of caked frostiness..

Brief moments of dawn however,
of Sun gracing the horizon,
Licked of fire and flame
Breaking the stubborn snowy
streak, with showy adroitness..

Needles of a snow-capped Spruce
peeks at the glistening glade
waking up to a dream surreal,
Of Sun and Snow, promise made
Entrenched in a forest boreal!
