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
