Once green the ground, now glistens in white

The full moon reflects, she shines ever bright

Tree branches sway, in the wind, to and fro

As they dance to the magic, of Christmas snow

Final Warning ~ #poetry #dark

fear-615989_960_720
She froze, like frost on blades of grass, in morning

No need to venture farther, she’d heed this final warning

Footsteps, in the distance, she was not there alone

Was that a floorboard creaking, or a wandering spirit’s moan?

Stretching out, listening, hoping she could hear

Shrinking back against the wall, all she felt was fear

Thumping getting louder, twas the pounding of her heart

Knowing she’d no time to waste, this demon she’d outsmart

Bathed in sweat, shivering, her clothes now soaked, it seemed

Waking up, inside her head, afraid of her own dream

Golden Wings ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Tags

She lays herself down, upon her bed
Nestles snugly, on gossamer strings
Visions, restless, swirling in her head
As voices, of a choir, so sweetly sing

The form of an angel, tis what she sees
With ethereal light, dancing, around her
She ponders, what the meaning could be
Letting the feeling, totally, surround her

She knows now, she will never be the same
Her destiny holds more important things
For in her dreams, a heavenly being came
And she awoke, dressed only, in golden wings

On the shortest day, and the longest night

When the winter solstice appears, anew

Let us gather round, be warm in its light

While we bid, dear autumn, a fond adieu

Evening Stroll ~ #poetry #winter

My footsteps, impressions, a story in rhyme

Water below me, frozen in time

Mirrored reflections, covered in snow

Over the bridge, back home I shall go

Where winter has left its mark on my soul

Dusted, with memories, from my evening stroll
