Journey Through The Winter

Folder: 
Nature/Environment

Days hasten towards dusk;

Cloudy skies chasing daylight.

Soon twilights settle in revealing,

What veils the mystic darkness that deem.



Snow clouds feather the air;

Wafting freezing blows of wind;

Ready to imperil the cautious days;

Icy drops pelting without mercy.



Like a lazy kite, its movement seems

Graffiti of snowflakes flying slow;

Like cotton balls from the pillows;

They dance amidst the unrelenting gales.



The blanket of dense whiteness

Fills the ground neatly trimmed;

Capping mountains, covering the hills

Spectacles of beauty: fresh and crisps.



Days are short; nights are long;

Shriver sends thrills to the bones;

Patient notes of enduring anticipation;

The journey ends as coldness reels away.
