An Unwelcome Wind

A poem of seasons... fall and winter...

 

I take a step

The canopy above burning

Burning in oranges and yellows

Crimsons and browns

Falling

An unwelcome wind

Carrying the seasons

Colors are fading

Soon blanket the ground

Ghosts

And branches left broken

Naked and wanting

An unwelcome wind

That makes not a sound

Waking

My breath all but frozen

It hangs in the air

Fires are fading

The winter king crowned

I take a step

A soft, subtle white blanket

That crunches beneath

The unwelcome wind

Just comes back around
