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

Wintry Forest

silently snow falls from the heavens

gently blanketing the landscape below

softly muffling the sounds of nature

countryside wrapped up in the snow

the more it falls the whiter the land

each snowflake, unique in its own way

feathered effects falling through the air

light to the touch, yet wanting to play

high up in the fir tree canopy

through the light snow descending there

each little pine needle is covered

wrapped up snugly from the cold air.

all throughout the ancient forest

snow muffles sounds everywhere 

but under the great boughs all is bare

silence of nature no sound in the 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
