It is December, yet autumn lingers still,539Please respect copyright.PENANAz72PebeUiv
A season caught between longing and will.539Please respect copyright.PENANA120hBkwoqr
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,539Please respect copyright.PENANAzIoXHc4tvi
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,539Please respect copyright.PENANAPQGaFPNnuz
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.539Please respect copyright.PENANAbh0jHZvW0n
The willows refuse to bare their frame,539Please respect copyright.PENANAdx4Mj5rCxZ
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,539Please respect copyright.PENANAu2PEYHBjLs
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.539Please respect copyright.PENANAhSuwFiXLYE
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,539Please respect copyright.PENANA8nwZ3Xy0tO
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
