winter day
clouds moving swiftly
cold lingers
–
wind sneaks in
windows forming ice
frosted scenes
–
trees, bushes
bend, laden with snow
white, heavy
–
frozen lakes
beckoning skaters
icy dance
–
cold winter landscapes
wild geese flying overhead
white puff clouds moving
faded sun tries warming us
winds declare the freezing win
