Serene Winter Poetry Script Needed

I’m producing a short YouTube piece that blends gentle live-action snowfall with minimalist animated overlays. The visuals are ready; what I still need is the heartbeat of the project—an original poem that carries a calm, reflective winter mood from first frame to last.

Here’s what will help me move straight into narration and final edit:

• A copyright-transferable poem, 12–16 lines (about 60–90 seconds when read aloud), written in free verse or light meter—whichever better evokes soft night air, frozen lakes, and quiet introspection.
• Language that feels fresh and unforced. Avoid the usual holiday clichés; I’m after imagery that whispers rather than shouts.
• Natural breath points so I can pace the voice-over comfortably against the mixed-media cuts.
• Delivery in a simple text file plus one version with suggested line breaks for timing.

If a particular structure or device inspires you—internal rhyme, subtle repetition, a shifting perspective—feel free to lean into it as long as the overall tone stays serene.

Once the poem lands, I’ll drop it straight into the voice-over session and sync it with the footage, so clarity on pacing is key. Looking forward to reading something that lets the cold feel warm for a moment.
