Winter White Wonder



A winter white page
Crisp, clean, clear,
Friends go out to carol and cheer,
Smiles infect all
As carol bells ring near.
A winter white holiday,
On occasion that’s nice,
Full o’ red, green, and gold,
Blocks of snow and ice.
A snowy white christmas,
Times from old,
Each old soul grasps to know
When the world changed,
When the snow seemed to glow.
New songs arise,
New words,
New art,
Give each my blessing,
If they come from the heart.
Hopes fill up days,
Dreams fill up nights,
And trees fill up homes,
Reindeer take flight,
Santa grants wishes
Travels and roams,
Each of you he visits,
Each of your homes.

A winter white page,
Crisp, clean, clear,
Meet Santa’s little helpers
And sleigh-pulling reindeer.
Old folks staying in,
Young ones frolic about,
Each single penguin
Jealous of the kissed mouth
And hugged back,
Hand being held,
Christmas unwrapped,
Stand in a square,
All hand in hand
This isn’t Dr.Seuss,
This is my ‘Earthly’ land,
Even so I make the winds sing
Bring snow banks to land.
All a blurry snowstorm,
Each piece hand in hand.

Winter white pages,
News comes to town,
Snow is falling,
Miracles cover the ground!
Cool winter breeze,
A kiss from the snow,
Everything-
And everyone-
Kick up the snow,
Angles on the ground,
Snow balls rolled.

A winter white canvas,
My favorite blank page view,
A new work of art,
An artists muse.
Cozy down,
Read something new,
Break an artist words,
Shape your new views.

Winter white whispers,
Shiver in the air
A warm cuddle,
Or scarf when hearts unfair.
Withering warm fire,
Peppermint caked hair,
All different cookie recipes
Flying in the air.
Cold winter dreams,
Wishing at night,
Each of your dreams-
I’d like to believe-
Grow wings and take flight.
Wait for Santa’s sleigh,
The kid’s wish come true,
For those who believe in magic,
Look for Prancer too.
Reindeer take flight,
Jingle bell gold,
Each little ring,
A time ticking toll.

Winter white weather,
Santa takes flight,
Reindeer and sleigh bells
Call you through the night.
A dream come true,
For all the young,
Each waits for red,
Boots string messily done,
Hat laid on his head.

Winter white wonders,
All of this is new,
Sing Christmas carols,
Let me wipe away your blues,
Only a small reminder,
Written while my mind loops to.
Write Christmas songs,
Inspiration is near,
Flip language upside down,
Confusion is now interpretly clear.
Spread Christmas cheer,
A distraction for doubt,
Some people give,
Envy goes the South route.
Help people out,
Make habits for the near year,
Grab any friends,
Make eggnog,
Just be here.

Winter white soul,
Brushed by the breeze,
Wish with the soul,
Set your mind at ease,
Find something easily happy,
Something to appease.
Speak with the heart,
The second as I’ve learned,
The one in which you find purpose and yearns.
Speak with the heart,
Words’ll ring true,
If not my confusion should help direct you.
Either way,
Find the light in it all,
Make it your muse.

Winter white words
All ring true,
Words that seem wrong
To the blind and the fool.
Words that speak dear,
Show wisdom and age,
The smart ones show graces,
Empathy for bad news,
Dreams like a poet,
A brightness in hues.
Words to be sneered,
Shoved away or played,
A card of new wealth
For the game’s my kind play.
Wealth for those with knowledge held dear,
Wealth for those whose sight is clear,
A sign for the speaker to trade wise
And speak clear.

Flurry white tumble,
Snow falling down,
This Christmas my dear,
I’ll take your sadness and war out of bounds,
Shake away the darkness,
Break your artist paint image,
Flurry white trouble
Made for kinship.
Do you know the words
To my happy new game?
It ties to your sadness,
Pulls all it away,
Regardless of truth and needful daze.
Flurry white trouble,
Faster than a lie,
Severe the pain
From all your ties.
Flurry white tumble,
Snowballs to gain,
You scamper away,
I’ll fight your own game.
Colds to catch,
Snow not rain,
Each day a misty white,
A new blank page terrain.
Curl up cozy,
Warm thoughts in your head,
Read a good book
In your fire lit bed,
I’ll chase away demons,
All of this in your stead.

Winter white wishes,
A whimsical Christmas view,
Each is a lens,
Which one show the real you?
Wonderful white canvas
This season gifts youm
A blank sheet for life,
Shed tears and share views,
I’ll supply your happy life,
Flip cards and flip through.

Winter white magic,
That’s why I’m here,
Whisking away hurt
To lands I fear aren’t near.
Lands I’ll make new,
Lands for me and you,
Each made with hope,
Common sense can be so cruel.
I’ll make it all,
Send you to different lands,
To lands of joy,
And Santa’s sleigh,
Lands of elves,
And I’ll get Prancer to “neigh”.
Lands of magic,
Wishing the home of mine,
Wonders of old,
Magic ties and it binds,
Each a cheery bottle
For holiday times.
Dreams of my poet,
I’ll weave a new truth,
Each a new world,
A mind for all you.
Those who believe,
Find joy in the role,
Know magic is you,
Your mind is capable,
Just keep believing,
Push through,
Look in the mirror,
The water of a new you,
All written on a canvas
Of my white winter mind,
Each promise a daze,
Words I won’t leave behind.
Those who believe
In this tale of mine,
Those who find magic
By little presents left behind,
Each looks for Santa
To find a new miracle,
A land where imagination lies.

Winter white words,
Wonder that bounds,
Words that strike home,
Float and cover the ground,
A mist of belief,
Something to see,
Something to believe in
If you want to drag your feet.
From this wise old soul,
Words forms as lives,
Each a separate promise,
I’m told they’ll be my demise,
But even so,
They all lie inside,
Open my casket heart
Break this artist mind,
You’ll find your dreams
To be laid out at night,
Each a footprint
On a winter canvas I find.
My words form non-verbally,
True sentences take toll,
Each requires explanations,
So poems captivate my soul,
The only explanation for my obsession with white,
Each reminds me of the snow’s new slate at night.
These words I’ll whisper,
Even seeming wrong they’ll ring true,
Words from my heart,
Unfreeze the ashes for you.
Winter white words,
Wish sadness away,
My words-
My worlds-
Talk about and distract,
Only thoughts to be spoken of
“Happy Holidays!”
