In the heart of winter’s grip, where the cold winds fiercely whip,
A storm of old rears up its head, a wicked dance of frost and dread.
From the tales of yesteryear, it comes forth, the storm we fear,
With howling gales and snow that blinds, it’s the olden wrath of winter’s binds.
The woolly bear, with bands so wide, had warned us all to stay inside,
For when the caterpillar’s coat grows long, the winter’s chill will be strong.
The skies, once clear, now turn to gray, as the storm prepares to have its say,
And folks huddle close, by the fire’s warm light, bracing against the snowy night.
The blizzard’s fury, a whiteout scene, a landscape turned to icy sheen,
It blankets all in silence deep, as nature’s force puts the world to sleep.
Yet in this tempest, harsh and wild, there lies a beauty, undefiled,
For each flake that falls from the heavenly host, is a marvel, a wonder, a silent ghost.
So let us remember, as we weather the storm,
The power of nature, in its coldest form.
For though it may rage and bring us to stand,
It’s a part of the cycle, of this wondrous land.
And when the storm has had its fill, and the winds at last grow still,
We’ll emerge to a world anew, painted fresh with crystal dew.
For the wicked storm, in its fearsome might,
Leaves behind a world so bright.
