BEYOND THE WINTER STORM

They warned us it was coming,

a great storm with ice and snow,

with deep freezing temperatures

Footprints track the new fallen snow,

as I look out from the frosted window.

Such a cool, cool winter scene,

so peaceful

Air so cold, it froze my nose.
Dogs at the door, paws must be cold.
Snow on the ground, not melting at all.
Winter is here,

Snow storm

The wind whips

White drifts

Into a creamy, cold

Blanket

Sparkling diamond reflects

On snow surface

Rainbow promise

New York in winter is truly a treat

Walking far and fast takes a toll on your feet

People rushing about with their cell
