Walking in through the darkness

Where snow seems to live free

I slowly stare into the air

and someone stares back at me

Startled

I rub my eyes

Seeing a boy in a white disguise

Holding my hand out and to my surprise

He wrapped his cold hands in mine

His pale skin flushes a florid color

And I hear him slowly say

Out his mouth comes a great big wind

Come on, Let’s go play!

Into the land of ice and snow

I run after him in the cold cold cold

His flowing white hair with silver streaks

Shines upon the land that’s seems so bleak

Chasing him

I giggle and laugh

He makes little jokes with his flying staff

Little snow fairies surround my body

But when I blinked, the world went foggy

Rubbing the crystals out of my eyes

Looking for him all around

The world covered in snow

The people sleep and sound

Suddenly I see him

With eyes so blue and big

He skates across the air and back

Blanketing the world with his winter spirit.
