It is December, yet autumn lingers still,748Please respect copyright.PENANARSKCjtGSXr
A season caught between longing and will.748Please respect copyright.PENANAd8yYXyW9Zu
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,748Please respect copyright.PENANAPEccH0Ynra
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,748Please respect copyright.PENANA131hciOM8J
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.748Please respect copyright.PENANA3hawGnJ2um
The willows refuse to bare their frame,748Please respect copyright.PENANAiNeZjx9udU
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,748Please respect copyright.PENANAvyecojhM6D
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.748Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z7PzTuT3l
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,748Please respect copyright.PENANAyc11aVV02P
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
