Winter

A land graced only by nature’s lace

Last spring’s flowers now long-gone

Snow erasing every shoe-brought pace

Grazing a withered-up dying lawn

Last spring’s flowers now long-gone

Sun shines down upon a ground unbrushed 

Grazing a withered-up dying lawn

Nature sleeping, sweetly hushed

Sun shines down upon a ground unbrushed 

Snow picks up; it falls and falls

Nature sleeping, sweetly hushed

A faint, airy whisper calls

Snow picks up; it falls and falls

As nature puts off spring’s rebirth

A faint, airy whisper calls 

A blanket tucks in the entire Earth

As nature puts off spring’s rebirth

Frozen windows share a lovely scene

A blanket tucks in the entire Earth

All that’s left is evergreen

Frozen windows share a lovely scene

Not a single soul in sight

All that’s left is evergreen

White wolves howl; day loses its light

Not a single soul in sight

Snow erasing every shoe-brought pace

White wolves howl; day loses its light

A land graced only by nature’s lace
