Preserving the Floor

Winter is a time
For magic spells 
From the snow that fell 
To preserve the loam
That’s been entombed                                                                       
And to defend the earth’s bed
For some they dread 
The lack of warmth  
Wintertime is a time of rest 
Folding out natures vest 
For enriching our tulips 
The color of mint juleps 
Wintertime is for natures 
Eliminations 
For the meek and wounded
That pass 
Leaving behind the strong and bold 
It is told 
Winter is a time
Of darkness 
With a hue of silver 
On a seasonal journey
Of change
