late night walk

the stars have been frozen
brought down to the ground tonight
with each step they flitter, sparkle, before me
flashing lights encased in the white

the moon champions the sun
this go round
it's at home with the frozen air
the white ground
in it's fullness it collaborates with the frozen flakes
creating a glow heavenward

the peaks all gather and horse shoe around the valley
standing like glowing monuments
they pay omage

for we're all amazed
at such beauty

I love the first stanza- it's so visual and lush in its description.
(though in the version playing itself out in my head the stars glitter and the sky is immensely dark). I feel like I'm on this walk and my face is getting chapped with the night's chill as plumes of smoke are blown from my mouth. In other words (though much later on, good poem).
