Lunar Woods
The darkest crevice bares the strongest light
Dispersing bright sun over shadows white pale
Barren trees stand against snow laden blight
Tips of fresh grass poke heads above the trail
The owl swoops down to the death of the mouse
While winds howl free across the moons dead face
Shadowed spaces hide beasts preying on Grouse
Polar ponds stilled where sly fish find their place
Frost bound trails that crunch and squeak with each step
My arctic heart fills with calls of sleepless sounds
While stars fall to escape like dreams unkept
For the spawning tides of spring to abound
Lifted by this arrant winter's cold night
The darkest crevice bares the strongest light
