Moonlit Snow (Katherine's poem)

written for a friend upon request.

I awaken from my slumber
to a strange, ethereal light.
I shuffle to my window
to see a world all covered white.

The snow, in moonlit elegance,
having fallen some hours past,
has a single vibrant color that
gives night a strong contrast.

with a quickstep and a smile
I scurry back to bed.
so I can wake a little later,
thoughts swirling through my head.

I don my boots and jacket,
then slowly saunter out the door,
what a fresh and early morning,
with a new world to explore.
