What is Winter?​

All it takes is one frozen drop.​

One kaleidoscopic flake of winter

to fall gracefully from the heavens.​

All it takes is one line of ice.

One explorer of a watery frontier

to freeze a trail into the deep.

All it takes is one green needle.​

One sliver of eternal life

to steadfastly refuse to fall.

All it takes is one bright candle.

One luminous guardian of light

to hold its vigil in the dark.​

This is all it takes…
