Blanketed Whispers

Title: Blanketed Whispers

A winter’s hush, a sudden roar,
Nor’easter unleashes its icy store.
Snowflakes dance, a wild ballet,
Painting landscapes, turning night to day.

Through streets, it tumbles and swirls,
Burdening rooftops and hidden burls.
Transforming familiar sights we know,
Into a pristine, ethereal tableau.

Children grinning, their laughter light,
In white-clad wonder, a magical sight.
Building snowmen, forming forts,
Creating memories of joy and sports.

Yet others bear a historic weight,
Beneath the snow, struggles innate.
Buried cars and icy roads,
Life’s rhythm skewed, its pace slowed.

Shivering souls within cozy confines,
Nestled by fires and nostalgic rhymes.
Hot cocoa steaming, stories unfold,
As winter’s tale starts to be told.

But even as the blizzard departs,
Leaving behind frozen works of art,
Resilience blooms within our hearts,
For we know spring always restarts.
