Forest is life
As the nights draw colder
The deep night sets in sooner
A fresh layer of snow
The air turns sharp and crisp
The layers of the forest react
The canopy appears as skin
The trunks as bones and the earth as organs
A living breathing soul
A snow flurry freezing every surface
As the layers of earth struggle to survive
The deep frost clings to every organism
Icicles stick to every branch
Owls echo across the expanse
The crunch of snow under every step
Like the quiet heartbeat of the forest
