Winter's Dance

Snowflakes dance,
They twirl and twist,
Surrounding me in ice cold mist.

They catch my tongue
And cling to my hair,
Teasing, calling, wanting me there.

To dance with them
And join their song,
Showing me it's where I belong.

Snow queen I am;
A heart of ice.
Winter isn't supposed to be nice.

So I shall dance
With falling snow.
While you stay by the fire's glow.

Stay safe and warm,
Without a care.
I can see you huddled there.

You won't remember me
When spring is here
And all the snow does disappear.

But for now I dance
This is my weather.
Across the moors;
The purple heather.

Leading me towards the spring.
And the end of everything.
But I'll be back with snow's first fall.
Heeding winter's tempting call.
