Offers no warmth from the cold
Winter’s light deceives

It’s official! At 11:19 PM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr
Enticing everyone, with a flurry
Awakening the slumber of snowmen
Children, frolicking, on dunes of white
Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate
While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace
Longing for the first day of spring
Author’s Note: When this poem was written, winter arrived in the morning. This year, it arrives in the evening. But I still think the last lines are true! 🙂

This incredible picture was taken from a rooftop, in Westchester, NY, by my dear friend, Ed “Brother Bud” Bates. Used with permission.
Beyond these forest lands, there lays
A frozen village, touched by rays
Encased in ice, nothing can be seen
It’s most ethereal, out of a dream
Skies of blue, touched by clouds
Overcast heavens, that shout aloud
The wild life’s echoed sound of joy
As warmth from the sun, completes its ploy
To melt away, these frozen limbs
Embrace the spirits, deep within
Then listens, as the forest fills with voices
The woodland, ever jubilant, rejoices
Knowing, this is only temporary
For Mother Nature, is quite contrary
And in a flash, she changes speeds
The whispering winds, planting seeds
While we await, the first of spring
To celebrant, every living thing
That comes back to life, as we espy
Preserved, a wilderness, beneath the sky
