How about this?

Winter cracks
The crunching underfoot
The swirling cold
Stiff and silent, shaking every branch
Beauty...fearsome and fatal

Chilling waves
Are breathing with a thirst
Insatiate wonderlust
A whistling wind always searching
Crossing on the wilderness
Beauty...fearsome and fatal

Standing below
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winter's own

Biting back
A seething blazing sheet
A bitter raw
Cutting shivers deep to the bone
Beauty...fearsome and fatal

Flaming angry
The heavens kiss the frost
Another climber lost
Beneath the snow
Fingers feeling finely for the ground

Rays of sun
Will creep beneath your coat
To ridicule and gloat
The stiffened skin
Naked, fragile
Licking every inch
Beauty...fearsome and fatal

Standing below
Mercy all gone now
Cold and alone now
All winter's own...
