Chill
within the night air brings frost
Beauty in
sight withers and dies
Winter came
again all is lost
Whispering
Pines say their goodbyes
Snow crystals
form on frozen ground
Protects
the seeds as they sleep sound
Blankets foliage buried below
Blankets foliage buried below
From
winter’s wonderland of snow
