It is December, yet autumn lingers still,521Please respect copyright.PENANAbJxMi8PMT1
A season caught between longing and will.521Please respect copyright.PENANA0fJq5Pj2u1
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,521Please respect copyright.PENANA6hOLctDj8L
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,521Please respect copyright.PENANAEgnhJeBKdo
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.521Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xn5u1gRAv
The willows refuse to bare their frame,521Please respect copyright.PENANAyT8WFeKu7t
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,521Please respect copyright.PENANA6PC1PVCJYK
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.521Please respect copyright.PENANAEWuiFRyjzi
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,521Please respect copyright.PENANAD11asRoTyy
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
