Ammil ©️Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Snow’s serene descent just ended
I ventured to my cherished park
Eager to witness nature’s art untamed
Before others disrupt this fallen-white artistic display

There were no footprints marring the pristine white
Nor had the wind disturbed the delicate flakes
Still draping branches, in the stillness I reveled
Embracing the beauty of the season’s first snow-falling

Branches laden with the fluffiest flakes
Like clouds descended on branches, crouched
The scene awakens childlike wonderment in my soul
A tropical heart finding joy in nature’s contrasting cold clime

Walking in hushed steps, a careful dance of wonder
Respecting the grace of this transient chance I’ve encountered
To witness the ammil, this snowy treasure
A memory now forever etched in time

Oh, the joy that comes from such pure adventure
Nature’s brush strokes of serenity and splendor
Creating a haven of tranquility a winter land retreat
Snow glitter dusting everything, I’m in wonder

I carry in my heart’s core the memory of that day
Forevermore a recall of nature’s creative display
For in my favorite park, beneath the snow’s cover
I found solace, I found beauty, I found ammil’s timeless treasure
