The wind howls, trees sway
Here the wind chimes sing thru the woods

Snow clouds sail over head

Snowflakes are falling with the wind pulling them along

Flake upon flake blanketing the earth

Covering all that was there before

A season so different from the others, one of hibernation, shelter and searching for food and warmth

And all that happens under the snow not to be revealed until the sun returns higher in the sky
