Winter Life

Crystal clear and 
diamond pure, the
cardinal's song peals,
piercing the gathering
dawn with its exquisite
melody, challenging
robins to contest
its musical mastery.

The dark shadows
of departing night
surrender to crystalline
light and a riot of
tiny pawprints
from prowling
furry beasts
embroider the
fresh-fallen snow.
