Winter sounds

In winter's austere silence, sounds unfold A tapestry of chill, the season's hold Frosty mornings, still and grey The creak of trees, a mournful sway Snowflakes whisper, delicate and light A gentle susurrus, through the winter's night The wind it moans, a haunting refrain As earth and sky conspire, in icy reign The world is muffled, a somber tone A frozen landscape, all its own The sounds of winter, pure and clear A solemn symphony, only winter can hear
