Frozen In and Sheltering with the Family

In January's winter's icy embrace, the land is hushed and frozen in place,
Unforgiving cold dances in the air,
Icy white beauty, subzero, an experience rare.

A world of crystal, gleaming and pure,
Where silence whispers, gentle and demure,
Each snowflake falling with delicate grace,
Adorning the earth in a shimmering case.

The breath of life, suspended in the frost,
Time stands still and memories are lost.

Beneath cold skies, a quiet settles in,
As branches glisten in silver and tin,

Though these bitter winds may sting, there is a thrill,
Of resilience, as Montanans rise above the chill,
In subzero's embrace, we learn to endure
Discovering strength we never knew we had before.

-I am over winter. I wanted to end on a positive note. Seeing as how we are going to have car starting troubles, and contend with winter illnesses, I am just trying to find my silver lining in all this winter wonderland mess.
