'neath the Moon

fall before the snow  
midnight's forest echoed sounds
footsteps cracking twigs

So visual Charlie! And I can hear the crack of branches echo in the forest and feel the chill in the air. You captured that experience perfectly. Best wishes for a great and healthy new year and all the best for the contest. Sending blessings!
