nominated by Misawa for a contest in the Nomination Station...Thank you, Misawa!
Dark and cold, bleak December
In winter’s spite the trees remember
They stand steadfast, reach for the sky
Through open arms the wind will cry
Mighty roots clutch to the earth
The passing seasons strengthen worth
All of time lives in the tree
And hints of life that’s yet to be
Through storm, through winter and discontent
Their souls remain resilient

Through every limb of every tree
Wind and snow weave majesty
From white-capped meadow to frosted glass
All have seen this darkness pass
The window’s panes overlook the snow
The frosted eyes set all aglow
Steady embers, gentle flame
Relieving chill, he says her name
Snow collects on windowsill
As hours pass and time stands still
