Winter Reflection--By Maurice J. Reynolds--United States

Winter Reflection

A cool, stiff wind captures the gaze

in my eyes as I look out my window

on this first day of the New year.

Crisp chills, snow-covered soil; the

Earth’s tranquil delight here in the

Midwest.  Clear skies, bright stars,

copper mountaintops, and frozen

lakes will play their part.  Zero-

below temperature days and long,

bone-chilling nights will trouble the

mind; icy roads and stranded vehicles

don’t do much to ease the woes of this

season, but the fresh snows and still

nights draw near to the bright moon,

providing light for the dark skies,

warming my heart and reflecting

the radiance and beauty of the

season.  Winter’s reflection is

unlike any other.
