It is December, yet autumn lingers still,785Please respect copyright.PENANABPvzaRmoA1
A season caught between longing and will.785Please respect copyright.PENANAY3phda8GXC
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,785Please respect copyright.PENANATaRIz8xY7u
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,785Please respect copyright.PENANA572K3e6orX
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.785Please respect copyright.PENANAEi3Y8kPQrU
The willows refuse to bare their frame,785Please respect copyright.PENANA2uIOB7c045
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,785Please respect copyright.PENANAJnqCycMVXu
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.785Please respect copyright.PENANA80Pbnfg2OM
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,785Please respect copyright.PENANAuBC3t39HKl
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
