Frigid

In the depths of winter's grasp, where frosty winds do blow,

There lies a month of bitter chill, where temperatures doth show

The true extent of nature's might, in January's icy hold,

Where frigid gusts and frozen lands do make their presence bold.

From the moment dawn breaks, a frigid breath does fill the air,

The biting cold upon my skin, a reminder of winter's flair.

The sun, a distant memory, its warmth but a distant dream,

As January wraps its icy arms around the world, it seems.

The trees stand tall and bare, adorned in glistening frost,

Their branches creak and groan, as winter's wrath is embossed.

The ground beneath my feet, a hardened sheet of ice,

Crackling with each step I take, a testament to winter's vice.

The lakes and rivers freeze, a solid sheen of glass,

Reflecting the pale winter sky, a sight that seems to surpass

The beauty of the summer days, when warmth and life abound,

For in January's icy grasp, nature's voice can still be found.

The wildlife seeks its shelter, huddled close to brave the cold,

Their coats thick and furry, shielding from winter's stronghold.

But even they must venture out, in search of sustenance and prey,

For in this frozen landscape, survival's game they play.

The breath I exhale, a cloud of mist upon the frozen air,

Each inhalation stings my lungs, a reminder of winter's dare.

But in the face of cold adversity, there's a beauty to be found,

In the resiliency of life, in the stillness all around.

For as I gaze upon the world, in January's icy reign,

I see the strength of nature's will, the power it does retain.

Though the temperatures may plummet, and the frost may bite my skin,

There's a sense of awe and wonder, as winter's dance begins.

So let us embrace the frigid temperatures of January's plight,

For within its icy heart, there's a beauty shining bright.

In the midst of frozen landscapes, where nature's forces clash,

We find a sense of awe and wonder, in the frigid January's sash.
