Wintertime

She rips the earth apart in some locations.
Provides entertainment for playful humans,
Sometimes mild and meek she continues on.
While upon others her strength abounds all.
A necessary venue she provides each year.
Chilling creations destroy ill wanted air.
She provides rough terrain to be chased.
While bringing amazing crisp beauty,
For the eyes that truly see beyond moment.
Enriching the soul of a true believer,
Who pauses to see the glory of winter?
Who knows that another season follows?
Her creations demand respect from all.
This season we call winter, true energy.
