clover frost

Someone had frosted the earth while she slept
Crystals of ice gleaming
Someone had disturbed the night and crept
So secretly and ever so silently.

Clover and grasses wearing nature's jewels
Too fast for the eye to see
In their shiny wagons they fly by like fools
They don't know what they're missing.

One pays attention to nature's decoration
And it thrills her to the core
Everyone so distracted by intended destinations
And she was stationary wanting more.

At the very least she would finally arrive
To a quiet locale that is still
A serene place where she can feel alive
Breaths of steam, such a thrill.

Exhausted by exhaust and others' apathy
But freed by the anticipation
Of meeting a friend so dear to her heart
Makes winter's frost seem to fall apart.

And all is warm and abloom and bright
Until that day is over
And she must say to him good night
So the frost can cover more clover.
