A Cold Fate Indeed

As once was green, soon shall be withered. Decaying with the descent into the season of cold.

The trees begin to wither, shedding their once beautiful appendages.
First turning red, orange, eventually brown,
Soon to break off and decay into the earth,
Dieing, but for a time.
The birds grow restless,
Once so cheer full and filled with life,
Chirping happily, harmoniously,
Now singing a song of farewell,
As they prepare to depart,
Until their return is necessary.
Light becomes more vacant, trailing off as the undeniable comes to be,
Darkness begins to smother the sky,
Conquering the Earth, scourging the sun.
As the cold winds come forth, forests are skeletal,
Their limbs scraping against the darkened sky,
Screaming out against the freezing of their roots.
As once was beautiful, so now shall decay.
Freezing under the cold blanket of father winter’s deathly fury.
The searing cold of the snow and ice,
Slicing through all in it’s path,
Leaving nothing but desolate plains in it’s wake.
A cold fate indeed.

whoa, nice imagery. a darkened look at the coming winter, one could also look into it metaphoricly; the coldness overtaking what once was a beautiful heart. atleast it rings that way to me, probably because my soul is in an everlasting winter. such is life. your vocabulary adds an eerie feel that i just love. paints a blackened picture of misery. wonderful job.

man do you hate winter lol very good imagery and description especially the way you felt about what you said that's the best part cause because i feel differently about winter i would have shifted my focus so yeah you did a good job of expressing yourself well done

thanks man. i actually do find the winter to be quite beautiful. yet crushingly vicious at the same time. the tone depends usually how i see it when i look or am outside. i also live in a suburb of cleveland up at near the top of ohio so sometimes the winter is just brutal lol

I live in the tropics so we have no snow it gets a bit cold and wet in December but the sun just never cools down its like the other extreme
