Click hereDarkness before dawn,
life is nothing but shadow
breathe calm before the light.
Close your eyes,
coldness from above speaks of snow falling.
Somewhere, far but closer still
winter stirs.
Summer sheds her skin,
like an offering
to sleeping bones below.
Abundance slowly fades
with a brillant goodbye.
Sleep and dream for the silence in snow.
Lightly laid words like fallen snow that touched the heart with warmth. Very nice read!
I like this poem, particularly these lines -
"Summer sheds her skin,
like an offering
to sleeping bones below." It works on several levels creating a mood and raising images of leafless trees.

Well done ~ I can feel the cold coming;
couldn't you have waited another month before posting this - Winter comes too fast up here in the North woods.
