Winter Evening
Snow falls
From a pregnant gray sky
Trees naked branches
Reach up like skeletal hands
Line between earth and sky
Losing meaning
Quiet rules
Allowing the sound of a single falling leaf
To announce its marriage to the earth
Gravity the best man
I am warm enough
To remember
A life well lived
Because you are in it
Thank you for reading. It was a very still evening. Easier to connect.
I felt this read like a beautiful love poem to nature
