Winter's Calling

A chill brisks

the wind-blown trees

as snapping,

crackling leaves

cling, in momentary defiance...

falling,

blowing,

at last give way

to approaching winter's calling!

-

Nestled under

comforter's of thread

as I listen to

this majestic silence,

my mind and heart

drift as the wind

to winter's calling!

-

Snow laden clouds

that seem to clutch the earth

in readiness

to present their bounty

of splendor

as wind's crispness

commands them

"Bring forth!

Winter's calling!"

-

I marvel at the seasons' changing

ever onward...

never pausing...

never refrain...

this is the harvest of

God's matchless bounty

Winter's calling!
