Snow Within the Forest

Another fall come and gone

The leaves became one with the ground now

The trees lost their once warm friends

Inches of snow sunk into the dry dehydrated grass

The snow made itself comfortable throughout the forest

for its long winters stay 

Paw prints became visualized into the white substance

Deer's came out from hiding to sneak a berry or two

Doe's and their mothers would dance together beneath the

gray sky while those sly foxes decided to stay warm within

their holes they prepared for the winter

The forest was silent and cold

The snow filled sanctuary was now theirs to call home

Nothing but peace and serenity for a whole season 

only with the occasional owl  hoot 

Wouldn't it be nice

The forest is silent and cold, but it is a refugee to many. This reminds me of how pristine a new fallen snow can be, and how wildlife prepares for the seasons much like we do.

Good to meet you, Emily!

I love how everything in this setting seems to be at peace and union. There is a great sense of serenity and tranquility that keeps nature at ease. Not even the harshness of winter can disrupt such a beautifully spoken world that you have created. Well done!
