Languish

 Nature seems to languish in winter
 Trees bare it all as snowflakes fall
 Bird fly south to warmer climes
 Yet all hope is not lost
 Spring will renew their
 Splendor and glow
 Birds will sing
 Dulcet
 Songs

Nature goes through many changes, indeed. Each season shares something special, in its on way, of course. I like when spring brings everything back to life. Your thoughts are beautiful, Joseph. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Languish indeed! Not that Im wishing my time away but I wish I could just skip the winter cold and move right on in to spring. Nicely penned.
