A Winter Wonderland

The day dawned gray and dreary
The sky made of silver
While the first snowflakes
Began to fall.

A lone bird chirped
In a tree bare of its leaves.
Standing on a lonely road
I stood watching as the world
Started changing.

And I embraced the winter
With memories of summer's warmth
Still in my heart.
And soon the snowflakes
Began to dance about me
And I twirled around and around
As everything
Turned into a winter wonderland.
