Splendorous Scenes

Sand silent; mud mum; tree-roots petrified,
Thick layers of snow dumped like crystal flood dried;
Split, the snow rocks melt and moodily flow,
Sunless, silently, stumbles and flows slow...
 
Slow flow; then there's another sudden death,
Habitats mock at its struggling for breath;
Plants and trees stand like spirits of the dead,
Moving as though phantoms, all around spread...

Heavens break-into tears as though in pain,
Thunderous, they fall like torrential rain;
As this, like rare guests, arrives once a year,
I cherish it, midst frost-chill atmosphere...

I love all of the S sounds in this poem. I am diving in for a second read, wondering if this was purposeful or just a brilliant poetic mind?

In frosty winter,if a sudden cloud burst comes .... will it increase the cold or lessen it ? Not sure ! From your description, I feel it is a splendorous experience.... ! Very poetic detailing ! Really enjoyed your poem Chris.
