Edge of a field
Just off the wood line
November leaves lie beneath
A grey skies wet snowy blanket
Bound in layers of cotton, snug
Comfortably warm
With the drone of sleet
Colliding with the few leaves
Still perched amid their trees
SOLITUDE
Brisk the breeze that
Reddens and chaps my face
Reminds me that I am alive
Sings to me of subtle beauty
And touches me with a natural smile
Grand is the power of my respect
For as the lovely Queen of nature dances
I stand captivated in joy.
