Choking minutes with her hands
Slowly squeezing the aorta,
Nature, with her chilling glance,
Proves to us that she’s immortal.

Naked trees in passion sway,
Sweeping stars, while none will fall.
Icy puddles mark my way--
Dark like windows to one’s soul.

Frozen doves rest on the cable
They observe the pale sky.
Wind-- the hand that rocks the cradle,
Softly sings a lullaby.

Thus I linger, sad and dreary,
Breathing in the silent night.
Shaking lips still prove my theory,
It’s so cold-- dreams freeze in flight.

Well done, Master.

You cling to your ways and leave mine to me.
Suum cuique.

I don't know what came over me that day, I usually don't write "sad" poems. Thanks for reading!

It sounds like it must have been a cold dreary day outside!
Great Imagery!

quite chilling and vivid...
Naked trees in passion sway,
Sweeping stars, while none will fall.
Icy puddles mark my way--
Dark like windows to one’s soul.
This would do well in dark passions.
