Alone, so alone and cold, nothing

Seems to be alive,

In the background, a hill of snow

And darkness to see.

There’s a fence, surrounded by a

Cold, cold sky above,

Standing by itself, layered with a

Blanket of icy snow is an old,

Leafless tree, guarding this land.

A look of winter on the face of

This place.

Such a beautiful scene to take in,

Seems so peaceful, this winter

Wilderness.
