the countryside ravaged by winter storm blanketed deep snowflakes swirling like a dervish blinding disorientating drifting sculpting battered trees stand sentinel frozen to the marrow bones shiver and blood runs thin an indigo sky menaces whilst the moon looks on the cold bite of winter when snow kisses skin malicious frost tipped and hoary billowing pillowing roads rutted deep warm in our bed we sleep curtains drawn on frosted panes dogs twitch and dream as embers slip and settle crackling flames leap icicles form on gutter and pipe and the silent earth holds its breath waiting for life giving spring written for Magpie Tales #Mag247 |
