Winter’s tranquility

Landscape sleeps, quiet time

Stillness fills snow-chilled air

Nature pausing, in rhyme

 

Snowflake-covered prairie

Farmers’ fields taking rest

Cold freezes idle land

Always dressed in whitest vest

 

Russian olive trees rise

Steady breeze, branches sway

Magpies call this their home

Nature wanting to play

 

Nearby ranches, life slows

Cattle feeding on hay

Days shorter, nights longer

Winter’s cozy chalets

 

Season of rest, spring waits

Snow-filled humility

Nature takes its respite

Winter’s tranquility
