Another day, aglow in
The light of early autumn
Ticks by, carefree and willing,
Unrelenting in its beautiful
Slow death,
Reaching out and peeling reddened
Leaves from the bony fingers of trees,
Hushing them to sleep,
Forgiving the sun enough
To let it shine on, still warm,
But spitefully aiding a little chill to the
Morning air,
And more to the evening when
The skies are deepest blue and thick
With cold, no clouds for insulation,
And the stars snap like distant icicles,
Just to remind you,
Gentle and ochre as autumn is;
Winter is coming.

Snow
Ice cold whiteness Such a soft form of chaos. It blankets us in paleness, Yet snow is so peaceful. Children laughing in the distance And the faint echo of what's beneath.

Winter Is Coming
Winter is coming The majestic trees lose their rich, red robes, Leaving them bare, exposing their bones. Their skeletal arms tremble in the grey, Delivering moans and grunts of dismay.
