Wintry Forests

A soft patter of snow as it falls
gently floating down from on high
silently covering all of nature
a pleasing sight to the naked eye

All through the ancient forest the snow
settling everywhere on the ground
but under the great boughs all is bare
no creature is heard, there`s no sound

High up in the fir tree canopy
through the light snow flakes descending there
each little pine needle is covered
wrapped up snugly from the cold air.

As the landscape sleeps under the snow
all protected from the wind and cold
winter amongst these wonderful trees
is such an awesome sight to behold



Winter time, though bleak and cold, is still a wonderful season, creating awesome scenery for all to enjoy.
