Ode to winter <br />~ <br />Ode, ode to the winter <br />What music plays to sonnet <br />While a world drifts to sleep <br />Leaves curl and flowers bow <br />Birds take flight to a further place <br />A touch of frost creeps in <br />Stealing the landscape of its colour <br />Soon all shall be held motionless <br />In the still of a winters season <br />Now in all its changing <br />The beauty and perfection of life <br />Is left open to be witnessed <br />Savoured by the eye of an artist <br />To feed the soul, nourish the heart <br />This melancholy season <br />This changing landscape <br />What beauty it reveals <br />In an ode to the winter<br /><br />Matthew Holloway<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-winter-7/
