The Winter Cometh

The once green corn stalks ripple in the sharp wind like sand colored streamers

The last leaves cling desperately to barren branches

Limbs, like claws, reach to the sky thanking their Creator

Winter is coming, the earth feels the stretching of its sinews

Thinly stretched to the point of ripping

Yet renewed in a fire-like cold that kills all that might harm

Rebirth is in the throes of the frigid gray day

What once was warm will be once more

Crippling rigidity will give way to warm fluidity

When the Winter comes and goes

And grateful for the redeeming nature of Winter

The earth content, yet hopeful looks to Spring

Even as Winter has only stepped in the door
