Newfallen Snow

Ephemeral it may be
but it is a radiant sight to behold
the snowbound forest
wrapped like a gift from nature
from the great bowl of the heavens
reflecting in the stellar hue
of a precious metal
like platinum hovering over
the landscape tufted with
newfallen snow
adhering to the forest floor
to winter-nuded deciduous
trees and green conifers
alike garlanded lavishly 
with scintillating crystals lit
by an icy atmosphere
brilliant and perfectly
composed, a mastercrafted
vision of perfection
that only those whose
haven it is may appreciate.
