Journal #16 - Ode to Winter

Sparkling crystals float down from their dappled home
Sticking to everything, everywhere in sight
A chill wind ruffles the smooth edges of a dark rider's cloak
Yet the determined figure pushes ever on
To a secret place hidden in this winter wonderland

A delicate but strong form sitting silently upon her steed
Raven hair glistening in the deep dark of night
From the moon's reflection on a sea of snow
Chocolate eyes keep a sharp lookout
As she hurries to find her secret place hidden in this winter wonderland

He stands in silence, waiting patiently
Blond hair shining like the golden sun
Star-like icy eyes search the cold night endlessly
Finally resting on a dark rider approaching fast
Going to her secret place hidden in this winter wonderland

The chill wind swirls, creating a whirlwind of snow
Their eyes finally meet through the dark of night
Time seems to stop as they approach each other
Two warriors from different times and places
Peace and love is finally found in each others arms as they lay in a secret place hidden in this winter wonderland.
