A Winter Forest

A harsh wind bites. The signals are there for those who understand; those who can read the fauna and flora like a map. Navigating through the forest… through life. Acorns are being stored under a red carpet. Shards of light pierce through deciduous windows. Evergreens wrap themselves in a nice warm coat. The snow arrives on iridescent wings, stretching it’s arms and cloaking all in sight. A silence creeps in, it’s heart slows to a single beat of a dying honey bee… © 7/12/2014

When winter bites hard... I look to the evergreens and remember soon spring will step in. The silence of winter, though a needed cycle, chills me to the bone. Enjoyed your poem and the wonderful images woven within. Congrats on your win. Excellent ending, by the way !!
