      The Snowbound Refuge - Olivia Orav

      Frosty Reverie

      Snowflakes dance in chilly air,

      Laughter echoes everywhere.

      Twinkling lights adorn the trees,

      Joyful hearts are sure to please.

      Warm mugs filled with cocoa sweet,

      Gathered near the festive street.

      Carolers sing a merry tune,

      Underneath the glowing moon.

      Children building forts of white,

      Sledding fast with pure delight.

      Magic glimmers in the night,

      Frosty dreams take joyful flight.

      Shadows of the Timberline

      Underneath the towering pines,

      Shadows dance like sparkling vines.

      Whispers float on winter's breath,

      Life blooms bright, defying death.

      Candles flicker by the fire,

      Songs of warmth and sweet desire.

      In the woods, we sing and play,

      Chasing shadows through the day.

      Snowflakes swirl and twirl with grace,

      Each a chance to feel the space.

      Together, we find joy anew,

      In the shadows, warmth shines through.

      The Warming Glow of Winter

      Firelight dances, shadows sway,

      Fireside chats at end of day.

      Marshmallows toast on glowing flames,

      The evening sings with whispered names.

      Scarves wrapped tight, we stroll in peace,

      Nature's stillness brings release.

      Stars above a canvas bright,

      Guiding us through frosty night.

      Laughter rings as friendships flow,

      Memories made in warm glow.

      The joy of winter, pure delight,

      Together wrapped in love's light.

      Hiding in Plain Sight Under Snow

      Beneath the white, the world lies low,

      Hidden treasures yet to show.

      Footprints mark the playful trail,

      Nature's hush, a gentle wail.

      The sun peeks through, the sky so blue,

      Brightening secrets; moments few.

      Kids’ laughter fills the frosted air,

      Sparkling joy is everywhere.

      Bundled up, we roam the land,

      Crafting magic, hand in hand.

      In this peace, we find our might,

      Hiding in plain sight, pure delight.

      Glacial Hibernation

      In winter's grasp, we softly sleep,

      Blankets of white, the silence deep.

      The world adorned in crystal lace,

      A tranquil pause, in nature's grace.

      Frosted dreams and starlit nights,

      Around us dance the snowy lights.

      Joy in stillness, hearts aglow,

      Beneath the drifts, the wonders grow.

      Retreat into Crystal Quiet

      In cozy nooks, we gather round,

      With laughter's echo, warmth is found.

      The crackling fire, it whispers low,

      As winter leaves a gentle glow.

      Outside, the world is wrapped in gleam,

      Each breath a cloud, a fleeting dream.

      Hot cocoa sips and stories flow,

      In crystal quiet, love will grow.

      Hidden Havens Under Snowfall

      Softly falls the delicate snow,

      A hidden world begins to show.

      Under flurries, magic weaves,

      Where hearts can rest and joy believes.

      Little whispers of warmth and cheer,

      In every snowflake, love draws near.

      Where laughter echoes, spirits soar,

      In hidden havens, forevermore.

      Chill of Solace

      A breath of
