Diamonds buried in the snow

does everything really die in winter?

Diamonds buried in the snow

People say things die in winter

that life ends as the calendar closes

bodies grow cold, tree freeze and splinter

then pain overcomes fingers and noses

I feel that I am the minority here

as I am compelled to disagree

the wind and the hail know no fear

and they fail to strike fear into me

Great sheets of ice encase miles of powder white

and allow solitude wherever I go

That I may admire the unbroken sight

and the diamonds buried in snow

Pale winter sun scatters light off the ground

and silver drips from every tree

but in this place there is only one person found

and that singular person is me

Author's Note

i guess this would have been a lot more effective in winter, but I just found it and was hoping for some honest reviews :)

The images you have created are lovely. Some look to winter as a gloomy time of year, but you have described the beauty and the quiet serenity that can be found...

and the diamonds buried in snow

Simply beautiful!

Thank you so much! that was definitely the intent of the poem while I was writing this winter because I remember reading a short story that had winter symbolize death but I like to think of it as something beautiful. Stay awesome!
