The ermine mantle covering earth
Deftly hides the world once more
As shapes and forms begin to emerge
That have never been seen before.
Branches drip with mother-of-pearl
And diamond frost and rainbow makes
As icy castles and sparkling stars
Are mirrored in shimmering lakes.
And in this transformed magic land
Coated with soft and silent snow,
God's creatures leave a tiny tail
That vanishes into woods below.
~ Eva Marie Ippolito
Thou has set
all the borders
of the earth:
thou hast made
summer and winter.
Ps. 74:17
