Can you hear it calling in the wind? <br />Winters chilling sigh? <br />Howling brisk icy waves <br />Over freezing days she cries; <br />Winter will soon leave her fingerprints <br />Everywhere in the snow <br />White noise will loom in the atmosphere <br />It's eerie silence shall grow; <br />Comes the world at a standstill <br />Perilous roads-difficult to drive <br />Sparrows bearing the icy lace <br />With the thaw they will survive! ; <br />Tree branches weighted heavy <br />With many a bough to break <br />It's a white frosted Mother Earth <br />Frozen pond-once a lake; <br />Resting or in mourning -for losses <br />Repose or utter despair... <br />Longing for the energy of the Springtide <br />And the arrival of warmer April air; <br />Oh yes, and the rain showers-refreshing <br />Along with the glorious sun <br />Bringing about a rebirth-of Mother Earth <br />With the flora & fauna-new life now begun; <br /> <br />By, Theodora Onken <br /> <br />February 17,2012<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/changes-112/
