Winter Trees

Bare tree branches waving histerically at the ground
Wind is blowing Shadows, to be lost and never found
The wind she whistles, alluring, as the Sirens of old
Nakedness of Winter Nature, shivers in the cold
As snow floats down, a blanket weaves around the soul
Warm, the squirrels sing and dance in the nest inside your bole
As evening rises, the wind ceases, the freezing cold stands still
Wind stands motionless, behind the rocks up on the hill
Everyday the trees absorbs the warmth from the SON
Soon the buds will sprout, Winter will be gone

An elegant depiction of the nature before the awakening as the harbingers of spring and renewal subtly and methodically change the landscape and ushers in a new rejuvenating energy that uplifts our spirits and hopes. Emile.

Nice dedication you have penned. We just hit a 57 year record for snowfall this week and today is the first day of spring. Might be flooding if it warms to fast. love phyl

I love it, Harry. I like "absorbs the warmth from the Son". That's where we get our nutrients. Too good. Love ya, Toquyen
