Glistening crystals shine,
Winking in the haze.
Sun filtering through the trees,
Light them all ablaze.
Little frozen teardrops,
Rest upon the ground.
Coating the world in frothy
Whiteness all around.
Standing tall and proud
Against the frozen dream,
Each towering timber
Is breaking at the seam.
Upon the reaching brows
Of the mighty oaks and pines,
Winter sits harsh and cold
Beauty of all time.
As the sun goes to rest
Beyond the twinkling land,
Night embraces the fluffy snow
That is winter’s brand.
Despite the blackened sky
The moon shines on bright,
Bringing relief to the world
Of frozen December delight.

this has a very soothing effect.
usually I don't care for rhyme, but this was very effective and gentle. and the rhyming didn't sound forced.
thank you for sharing.
