The land lies in slumber, a mute frozen expanse, Unprepared for the incoming dawn Light strikes the world, a herald, a crier Blinding reflection off pure piercing bright Wind roars through the silence, trumpets call to thunderous reply Clouds chaotically churning, explode into cancerous growth Towers erupt from the mass, to mushrooming expansion, White turning black with this spreading disease The wind builds in force, unleashing in surges, Sheds dead leaves as waves pummel the trees Bark burnt to black, set aflame by the cold, Their skeletons as shadows of life Casting shadows of light and shadows of wind As the snow’s left to fall-out of the most mournful sky Clouds drifting, passed, its wake desolate calm The world drained of all color, bared black and bleached white Unresponsive, in shock, in disbelieving despair As if dazed by the end of an era A mark notched in time, a new season has dawned The world once shifted cannot be restored The tempest is gone, the damage is done First among many, A new, clear winter day A poetry competition entry on the theme of Winter
