Winter Wilds
Winter Wilds
Calm down the forest greens
Branchless trees stripped bare
Torn apart by weight
Broken limbs by seasons ice
Coupled with sinister wind
Blown away are the leaves and twigs
Tall trunks stand naked on the tundra
Wild, vast distances exposed
Clouds gather birds, insects with lost shelters, homes
No place to hide below their grayness
Placed on hold in cold solitude
What remains is in a frozen grip of winter
Why, whispers through the barrens sound
Winter stumps left standing all alone
The ground seems more solid under snow
Soft crunching underfoot is heard
