Muffled Wonderland

            Waking up to a crisp white world

            with clear blue skies over head

            muffling the sounds of our lives

            nature wrapped up in its snowy bed

            tiny paw prints seen over the land

            from scurrying creatures homeward bound

            while a Robin chirps from the garden wall

            wonder where his next meal will be found

            icicles hanging down from  branches

            sparkling in the cold winter's light

            a strange scene that's frozen in time

            creating a wonderland so bright

            stillness felt that calms the soul

            delicate snowflakes like patterned lace

            as sun glistens across the landscape

            peace is experienced within this place
