Icy frost

Cloaking the grass,

trod upon by none.

 

Angry clouds

Across the sky,

Blotting out the sun.

 

Icy lakes

Smooth,unbroken,

Pallid, clear, morass.

 

A bitter heart

gnarled forever,

shattered like broken glass.

 

A raven cawing

Grievously crying,

Terrible loss apparent.

 

A lone dark shape

Hidden in the mist,

Glaringly errant.

 

Wind howling

Through twisted boughs,

Downward snow falling.

 

Silence, whispering

Frigid fog,

Death, eternally calling.
