Once Upon a Winter Night

The woods were silent,

As if they were waiting,

For something to happen,

But not knowing

Where,

When or,

How?

A thick patch of snow

Hung low with the pines,

As the woods waited,

For that moment to occur!

The earth rustled its blankets

Of green and white,

When a slight crispy breeze

Made its way through

Once upon a winter night!
