Snow drifting among faded skylines
Blurring memories with the
Whispers of the wind.
Clouds darken as time slows
And captures the standstill
Snapshot of the wilderness.
Trees rise high with age and wisdom;
Each coveting different secrets
In the cracks of their bark.
Their leafless branches quivering
In the frozen air as they share
A parting kiss with the breeze.
