Winter
On the heels of autumn’s flight
Nature draped in winter’s white
The dreariness of brown and grey
Belie the colors found in May
Frosty winds howl through the trees
Made barren by December’s freeze
Though January’s colder still
And February spreads the chill
All life, it seems, is in retreat
The silence echoing defeat
As arctic air does plunder forth
From icy strongholds in the north
But all great kingdoms start to wane
As other ones begin their reign
And winter, though a ruthless king
Must one day soon give way to spring
