Wintry Forest

A soft patter of snow as it falls

gently floating down from on high

silently covering all of nature

a pleasing sight to the naked eye

All through the ancient forest the snow

settling everywhere on the ground

but under the great boughs all is bare

no creature is heard, there`s no sound

High up in the fir tree canopy

through the light snow flakes descending there

each little pine needle is covered

wrapped up snugly from the cold air.

As the landscape sleeps under the snow

all protected from the wind and cold

winter amongst these wonderful trees

is such an awesome sight to behold
