"January"

I figured I would start off this blog with a poem that I wrote. I think it is especially fitting with the weather we have been having and with the upcoming weather forecast!

 

January

Wind is a howling wolf,

Sky about to burst forth with her heavy weight.

Trees once tiptoeing to touch the sky,

now bend forward to nod at the ground.

Bulging, pregnant sky

 has dropped forth from her womb,

a downpour.

World is a snow globe,

magical flakes swirling ‘round.

Pure, free so graceful-

a billion silver-white drops

of radiance falling at once.

Spellbound by

this majestic display,

invigorating.

 Wolf has settled for a bit,

Trees-standing at attention waiting…

Once proudly bearing its cloak of leaves,

now bear a dusting of snow.

Branches glisten,

Winter birds start to listen,

they shout forth with song,

frolic about in the snow-

stop to play during their journey

to who only knows where.

Young buck, in the shadows,

a sight to see,

 nosing at a snowdrift –

tossing up tiny snowballs,

his nose a shiny white.

A noise-quiet, yet there-

off runs the buck,

snow dusting at his hooves.

Wolf has calmed,

Sky has opened up

and poured forth her possessions

to blanket this world.

This magical wonderland,

at peace, alone again,

in this magnificent

moment in time.
