Winter’s Embrace

The Silence Before the Spark
In winter's grasp, the world seems to pause,
A silent stillness that wraps in its thaw.
Footsteps swallowed by soft, drifting snow,
Love waits, patient, beneath the glow.

Icy windows gleam like whispered eyes,
The hearth’s quiet warmth, a tender sigh,
In solitude, hearts quietly reflect,
A love that is yet to fully connect.

Each snowflake, a kiss from the frozen sky,
Gentle and soft, a spark that will fly,
In winter’s silence, something stirs
A longing deeper than we can infer.
