Winter Dream Fancy

Cloud ribbon candy like skies appear full
     Bursting with winter dream fancy
As though one could fathom a day made of wool
     With snowflakes so thick that you can’t see

Yet on the horizon, a figure in red
     Appeared in a flash of reflection
So through all the frosted white breezes, I tread
     To see you headed in my direction

I could not believe you had made your return
     I’d have cried lest my tears turn to icing
So instead, I just ran without pause or concern
     Right into your arms so enticing

I wondered the reason this winter tide chill
     Had crept up on me unsuspected
Yet alone, with this empty heart left to fill
     It should have been something expected

But now through the magical snow dust of love
     You are here and the freeze has abated
And I thank all the Jack Frosted heavens above
     From two hearts, warm and simply elated
