January Mist.
Winter-dead trees hold shadows of birds.
And footfall is hushed where fallen leaves lie.
Along the river bank, grey mists coil
Encircling all life in a dampening embrace.
Bark brittle boughs lift imploring hands
Towards the lowering sky.
Silence lives within it's pall
For the song of life, the mist's forestall.
The air itself, all movement stilled,
And time is held at bay.
