Nunavut Poetry Contest #1 – First Place

Beneath the Winter Sky

by Faran Greenley

Snow drifts like whispered secrets,
Filling the streets and quiet corner.
The world slows, like a heartbeat.
Every step leaves a mark
That will vanish by morning.
Breath clouds fill the air. 
Stars glint like frozen fire,
And above, the Northern Lights dance —
Ribbons of green, like silk unravelling 
Across the endless dark.
The night holds a stillness,
That feels almost like peace.
