A white blanket covers the earth;
all the creatures have vanished
and left the world lifless
Small rabbits leavefootprints
in the bleached white snow
Deer are hiding in the bushes as
a lone wolf stalks his territory in
the sunless day
He howls for his family waiting
until a distant echo is heard through
the tall pine trees
A field mouse hurries with its small dinner
for its family to survive during the long
fast
The oak and pine trees are still lifless and
breathless as white scarfs wrap around their
thick branches
What once was a flowing river is now a large piece of
ice; with her water fall turning into a frozen fountain
for the next three months
