Slippery Slope

The wind howls, trees sway and branches creak
Across frozen, snow covered ground
Where ice merges all around
As if life has now found
A slippery slope
On which to cope
While watching
The sun
Set

Heidi, Wherever there's uneven ground or water covered rock. So thankful to find the end of tall days and brilliant sunsets shared. -Richard

Heidi, you've created a stunning winter landscape here! Nature makes the frozen scenes that you describe alleviate the anguish of stormy weather.

Winds are blowing--getting ready with advanced warning of tomorrow's approaching storm. Nature paints those frozen themes that you describe to ease the pain of storms. Stay safe, Heidi.
