I thought I heard a chilly silence in the dead of the night
I tiptoed cautiously and opened the cold curtain
From what I can gather everything has turned white
I was rather sleepy and I could not have been certain.

But in the morning it was revealed I was right
everywhere was draped in a blanket of snow
looking so crisp, magical and glistening with light
I crept back to the warmth of the bed away from the window.

I pulled the sheets and blankets over my head
tucked into the silence and comfort once again
snuggled in the land of dreams in my bed
listening to the wind whistling through the window pane.
