Soft, silent and feeling--
Firm blanket
Emanating warm
Out of solemn serenity
A proclamation
Sprung from the dark mind of Zeus,
Nuptial Celebrant
Alone among the slender Aspen,
Herself perfecting Winter.
Virgin caress,
Mirthful, impudent Athena--
Gentle awareness
Pregnant with significance.
White miraculous
Preceding Dawn.
