Frost smoke over the mountain, a frozen lake In the eye an effect of beauty, with sculptures in shiny and polished ice The trees are moaning and the animals are filled with fear and empty stomachs An existence beyond existence While hunger burns in naked trees The hard ground covered with a half meter of snow No human footsteps, silence fears It is expected storm to the night and the temperature falls 05.01.2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
