Winter Night
Trees wrapped in fog
Bundled on the hilltops
Twilight weaving
A silver blue shawl.
Pale cheeks, flashing eyes
Running through the shadows
Fallen leaves, broken twigs
A forest of obstacles.
Tripping through rocky mud
Leaping over fallen tree trunks
Gliding on pine needles.
Sun chasing
Moon racing
Time will stop for all.
Bark filled mittens
Smoke disappearing
Breathing warm magic.
Silent lightning
Cracking the sky
Black branches stretching
Up into the night.
