It is December, yet autumn lingers still,530Please respect copyright.PENANAIB6dLHBAoG
A season caught between longing and will.530Please respect copyright.PENANAxUWDuMhzRN
The snow is scarce, the earth undecided,530Please respect copyright.PENANAn12QJFbPAA
As if winter itself stands, uninvited.
Leaves cling stubbornly to weary boughs,530Please respect copyright.PENANAHs8qg1BKli
Whispering secrets in trembling rows.530Please respect copyright.PENANAC5fSdtRgf3
The willows refuse to bare their frame,530Please respect copyright.PENANAne4pUSBBty
And the squirrels pause, uncertain, unnamed.
I yearn for frost’s crisp, quiet embrace,530Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdnB1zvpN
For snowflakes to melt as they kiss my face.530Please respect copyright.PENANAbLWdfmlt5A
For the sharp, clean breath of the winter air,530Please respect copyright.PENANAqBffdydroZ
To fill my lungs, unburdened, bare.
