It is December, yet autumn lingers still,542Please respect copyright.PENANAhgbSOsEGLL
A season caught between longing and will.542Please respect copyright.PENANA48OYlAKRrh
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,542Please respect copyright.PENANA7dLbD4f2cn
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,542Please respect copyright.PENANAUWre98H4u9
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.542Please respect copyright.PENANAMNwLn0surc
The willows refuse to bare their frame,542Please respect copyright.PENANAE5AYNIiFwq
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,542Please respect copyright.PENANAeqc3D9Xoaw
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.542Please respect copyright.PENANAAaD7AcoIU2
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,542Please respect copyright.PENANAkBbvJ97NPq
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
