A Winter's Tale

A Winter's Tale Winter revealed through my empty brandy glass as frozen is the blue lake with the jumping bass No singing birds fluttering across my jogging path as nature in splendid chill vents it's wrath The valley rests hibernating creatures safe from cold as winter wraps man and beast in it's icy fold Rare warmer days send joyous cheers of delight as beauty and splendor mask the chill of night Frozen sky above covers glaring white down below as the wind flies coldly past singing as it blows Moon casting dashing light upon cold barren ground as spring hides in deep shadows waiting to be found Season of freezing wind , rain , shining snow mourn as time forms another nature show about to be born Spring suddenly leaping from shadows dark and deep as a man awakening from a long hard night's sleep...
