The Trees Are Sleeping

The trees are sleeping,

Can you hear?

Their dreams are yet deep’ning,

Are you near?

.

A snow serenade was swirling to the ground

As we held the air tight,

Tight inside our chests.

A snow promenade made scarcely a sound

But the wisp of the white

And the ambient scent.

.

The trees are sleeping,

Can you hear?

Their dreams are yet deep’ning,

Are you near?

.

Their sweet slumbering shall not be disturbed

By the squirrel’s quick paw

Nor our steps in the snow,

This still winter-land calms the call of the bird,

Until the blanket is thawed

And spring’s bounty is shown.

.

The trees are sleeping,

Can you hear?

    1. thanks for taking the time to comment! Even something as quiet and slow as leafless tree in winter shows its life. And yes, it was those creaking noises i was thinking of when writing this.
