It is December, yet autumn lingers still,522Please respect copyright.PENANAABeMBfuytb
A season caught between longing and will.522Please respect copyright.PENANAyQL7FhQuut
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,522Please respect copyright.PENANA2FHSqBsJbb
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,522Please respect copyright.PENANAkThTt1tMQG
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.522Please respect copyright.PENANA5DQrL9dZV9
The willows refuse to bare their frame,522Please respect copyright.PENANA9vgC2JbKMA
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,522Please respect copyright.PENANAVo9ygQa1CN
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.522Please respect copyright.PENANAA334Mtkhhn
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,522Please respect copyright.PENANAN4uQofCsrS
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
