A Piece About Winter

       This piece was written sometime in September.  I can't tell if I like it or not.  I know that there are certain lines that I do like, but I don't know if I should fix up the piece or scratch it and just steal a few lines.  There's something about it though that made me want to post it... Maybe because it's almost winter!!



(  Title-less :(  )

The silence of winter rings in my ears,
As my footprints fade in the snow.
The trees shiver,
though the snow weighs their branches,
and gives them a blanket of hope.
The heartbeat of winter stays constant and clear,
Each snowflake a beat to its pulse.
The fire stays fluid and warm, like the blood that blesses that pulse.

  1. I love the personification you use of the trees shivering, and I love the opening line "the silence of winter rings in my ears". Great word choice! great poem (:
