Autumnal hues fade
seasonal baton exchanged,
bleak dreary act unfolds
gentle snowflakes cascade
kiss the earth in hushed tones
burying the winters whisper
in absolute white silence.
The melancholy numbs the poetic musings
frigid ink stares at the blank pages
frosty madness eclipses sanity
awaits the arrival of spring,
to thaw the frozen thoughts.
