Winter Storm
The smoky sky serenades serenely
The winter’s freezing song
The tune whistled with lacerating chill
By the wafting arctic wind.
The stilled clumps of charcoal cloud
Disperse with the dancing frozen flakes
The feathers of fleeting snow float
On the pulsating waves of the cross breeze.
The skeletons of the stripped trees
Can’t bear the burden of the snow stack
As the branches crash under the load
The cracking sound splits the icy silence.
The blowing blizzard breaks asunder
The pervading congealed stillness
That grips the desolate white landscape
Battered by the sleet of the winter storm.
