Winter
Night has fallen over our world.
The dark between dusk and dawn.
Chilling winds, bitter frost,
Silencing outdoor life.
Animals burrow into their homes,
Taking refuge from the harsh conditions.
And humans, much like the animals,
Huddle up inside, until the winter is gone.
Cold wintry winds blew leaves off the trees,
Leaving only skeletons of the past seasons.
On this wind rode many birds,
Fleeing into warmer arms.
All is buried,
Lying in silence,
Waiting for spring to sweep away the darkness,
And re-awaken the world.
