Winter's White Flock

Valiant efforts to try to resist Glistening white frost gloating to stay. Outside movement stops a whiteness subsist. Trees harden as soldiers, not any sway. Laid naked, hold fast in the stark of day. Cold current bristle clouds nondescript gray. Mother Nature’s thermostat set on freeze, Favorite evergreens frozen to the ground My asthmatic self cannot help but wheeze Glittering wonderland, looks heaven-bound. No footsteps yet, snowy air without sound Glorious comforter covers all ground A reverent feeling, this solitude Enjoying beauty of winter’s white frock Overcome with a joyous gratitude, Beautiful day sees meaning in a hawk Majestically calm, not even a squawk When I look at the hawk’s eyes, our souls lock Winter has arrived, takes over of course, A beautiful sight, a reckoning force.
