Winter's Heart
A group of yucca
Next to a fence post
In an otherwise barren
Landscape
Pushing up through the snow
The only life seen
In the death grip of
Winter's Heart
The racing winds
Driving the snow
To conquer the
Land
Razors of wind
Biting and tearing
Through thick layers of
Clothing
The only defense
Is to be inside
Sheltered from the claws of this
Blizzard
Staring out at
The unchanging white
Broken only by the yuccas'
Green
