Transforming night’s darkness

Morning’s mystery calls

Covering land with mist

Sunrise waiting, now stalls

Spirit’s sentinels stand

Towering, leafless trees

Daybreak’s silent twilight

Catching whisper of breeze

Sharing message of peace

Stillness joining crisp air

Breathing with day’s fresh hope

Spring waits as winter’s heir

Time forgets to advance

Hitting snooze, stardust reigns

Nature’s one vacation

Filling cold-blooded veins

Freezing rain descending

Sleep’s final ticket home

Chilling another day

Winter ready to roam
