Winter's Wrath Frozen limbs of stillness trees naked, standing bare the wretched wrath of winter a death within the air Stripped of all the beauty colors fade away a tapestry of gloomness mourning shades of gray His breath a bitter coldness dressed in snowy white causes pain, illusions smothers nature's light Displays a rude awaking sends chills down to the bone sheets of glass portraying his nasty undertones Drowning out all whispers from thrashing of the wind his shadow taunts, is haunting round and round it spins Old man winter lingers grasp is strong and bold frostbitten shrubs lay buried 'neath his icy hold Soon, with season over he'll slip behind the clouds sun will bring a warmness embrace earth with a smile Frozen limbs of stillness awaiting a new birth peeking out with little heads from 'neath our mother earth Copyright © 2003 (All rights reserved) Rose Marie Streeter Used with permission NOTE: These original writings are copyrighted and may NOT be reproduced, distributed or displayed in any way or form without the author's expressed and written permission.
