The world has been softened by cold.
Branches stand bare and open,
etched in frost as if drawn by hand.
Each blade of grass in white.
Hoarfrost settles like memory,
turning the ordinary luminous,
binding earth and air in fragile stillness.
In this moment, the land becomes delicate,
and winter reveals its quiet art.
