She has come

She is nearing.
Her approach silent.
She comes like a thief in the night.
One moment gone.
The next standing by your side.

She creeps in the night.
Unlike her companions.
She is the coldest.
Bringing on the first shiver.
She has come to stay.

The season has come.
She will be here.
Not to leave us be.
We are stuck till the unforeseen.
She has frozen time.

Her smile broadens.
Cold as ever.
Content in this winter wonderland.
Winter has brought her beauty.
I am here to stay.
